Ally Ham

Video Librarian Magazine

An evocative indie gem serving a little bit of science fiction, some dark comedy, and a healthy dose of body horror.

Rated: 4.5/5

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

Despite the clear low-budget, Butler makes sure that Friend of the World doesn't become a student art film, thanks in part to his two leads

Friend of the World works to make the viewer feel as disoriented as Diane does, using some effective special effects to bring her nightmarish visions (or are they?) to life.

It badly needed to commit to something – oddness, aesthetics, or plot. A film cannot, after all, simply turn out to be an essay about film

Rated: C-
