Sandra Hall The Age (Australia) The second part turns into an extended chase sequence which is engineered to make the most of the bleak and lonely landscape surrounding the farm, and it has enough twists to delay your inevitable questions about the increasing number of loose ends. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film The plot is not the film’s strongest point, but it functions well enough as a device through which to explore a troubled relationship. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 21, 2025 Full Review Thomas Alexander HeyUGuys Well placed twists and turns keep you engaged despite the minor pacing issues. In Vitro takes care to build the tension to put you at the centre of events along with a score to help make you feel unsettled. Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful Amid a backdrop of ecological and technological horror, "In Vitro" finds its most haunting terrors in the face of human frailty. A meditative thriller punctuated by a potent, ethically challenging ending that gives audiences plenty to chew on and debate. Rated: 4/5 Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Peter Martin ScreenAnarchy A compelling thriller that is short on nonsense and long on suspense. For every cliche that they embrace, ultimately they reject the easy answers, in favor of a conclusion that is completely satisfying. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com Excellent, taut little sci-fi thriller...directors Will Howarth & Tim McKeith wind up the tension with consummate expertise, delivering a brace of precisely executed jolts.
