The Blue Lenses

The House of Sweat and Tears is a deliberately understated film to the point it almost feels consciously repressed...But far from poor filmmaking, it is rather a masterclass in form and theme where pacing, poetics and meaning work in admirable harmony.

I Love Splatter

This atmospheric horror film isn't filled with blood and gore, but it did produce an uncomfortable feeling of dread as I watched the minutes unspool.

House of Sweat and Tears deftly conjures its disturbing imagery but never escalates to propel its story, or characters, further.

Film Threat

House of Sweat and Tears is a uniquely resonant take on a well-worn subject and one that bodes extremely well for the filmmakers' future in the medium.

Rated: 8/10
