Nick Allen RogerEbert.com A frustrating genre pic that's just too dreary to be scary. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 19, 2019 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety Its mix of the poetical, repugnant, and phantasmagorical will weave a singular spell for more adventuresome, arthouse-friendly viewers. Apr 18, 2019 Full Review Noel Murray 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. Apr 17, 2019 Full Review Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema 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 Mar 5, 2021 Full Review Charles Koplinski 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 Nov 20, 2020 Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts It is a stunning stunning movie.. [that lets] all the visuals do the talking. Rated: 6/10 Oct 26, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Ari V Masturbatory satanist tedium that ultimately amounts to nothing of artistic value that I could find. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review diane S 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Tom L Moves at a glacial pace. Beautifully shot and full of atmosphere, but light on plot. The ending is pretty horrific and shocking, but it’s hard to tell what is really happening and what is in the main character’s mind. Others have compared it to The Witch, which I can see, but to me it is related even more closely to The Devil’s Bath. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Rocco T Very slow moving. Film but beautiful done nonetheless amazing cinematography very dark fairytale vibe , if your a fan of folklore horror it’s a must watch felt like a rawer version of the witch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Thomas S Beautiful and eerie. The first scene witht he mom under the blanket was weird as hell and made me deeply uncomfortable. Very slow, but shows how traumas can destroy a soul desperate for an escape. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Kat N In German but they hardly talk at all so that's not even a problem. It's a very very slow movie and you're waiting for things to happen that never happen. Very nice shots beautiful atmosphere but I was just waiting for something to happen the whole time. Minimal drama at the end. But not enough to make sense for the whole movie not a fan Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
