A frustrating genre pic that's just too dreary to be scary.

Rated: 2.5/4

Variety

Its mix of the poetical, repugnant, and phantasmagorical will weave a singular spell for more adventuresome, arthouse-friendly viewers.

Los Angeles Times

Instead, "Hagazussa" is like a series of beguiling paintings and photographs from an old history book, each suggesting something inexplicable, which the viewer has to puzzle out, since the subjects are long dead.

Mariel Baqueiro's cinematography is impressive, Aleksandra Cwen gives a committed performance, but the movie's lack of momentum-bogged down by MMMD's droning, repetitive score-adds little.

Rated: 2.5/5

Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam

Not for all tastes, this introspective horror film is propelled by the gothic mood and sense of dread director Lukas Feigelfeld creates from the very first frame.

Rated: 3.5/4.0

As much as I love odd, quirky, art house, and noirish stuff ...am I missing something? I couldn't get through this in its entirety. Had to drop off after about the 9o minute mark. I love the cinematography and the slow-burn, perhaps I'm just too stupid to understand this. The death of innocence and the birth of adulthood? The magic of altering ones reality? Wish I knew. Beautifully done up, just felt like skipping out towards the end. Maybe, it's because of the...I don't know. Can't not recommend it, so, Caveat Emptor.

Strange but boring. Cinematography was good but that was about it.

Brave and committed filmmaking that brutalizes slowly and quietly. Built on long, lingering shots and framed by a haunting score (mostly cello), you’ll either be able to get lost in it, or you just wont appreciate what’s going on, which no one would judge you for. It’s not for everyone but if you like it strange and don’t need a neat and tidy resolution, wade into the muck.

Masturbatory satanist tedium that ultimately amounts to nothing of artistic value that I could find.

Thank god for fast forward - I dont think I've ever seen shots lingered on for so long. You could get your food shopping done before the camera angle changes.
