Bloody Disgusting

At the crossroads of Peter Jackson's splatstick humor and the touching soul of Jim Henson's fantasy work, Blanchard's affecting film forges a new path that brings the comedy and horror in equal measure.

Rated: 4/5

Film Freak Central

There's profundity in Jesse Blanchard's Frank & Zed... a rod-puppet adventure hewing closer to community puppet theatre than to The Dark Crystal while sharing DNA with both.

Rated: 3/4

Wicked Horror

Reel Rundown

Impressive special effects, glorious set pieces, wonderful lighting, wicked humor, and relentless puppet mutilation; Frank and Zed is an unbelievable achievement of horror and comedy cinema (puppet or otherwise).

Rated: 4.5/5
