All build-up and no release makes for a bit of a slog when we’re battling motion sickness.

What a Scream Podcast

...the band come across as more of a joke, yet this is exactly what makes the introduction of the horror element that much more shocking when it does arrive.

Rated: 4/5

Bloody Disgusting

Elements of the supernatural and occult rituals and riveting performances make the final act of Invoking Yell shocking, anxiety-inducing, and genuinely horrifying. Fans of found footage will especially enjoy this film.

Rated: 4/5

Warped Perspective

The film turns out to be more a kind of time capsule of this point in time than a straightforward horror film, but the end result – a look at how obsessions and mythologies overlap and establish themselves – is quite interesting on its own terms.

Dread Central

‘Invoking Yell’ is violent, creepy, and a shining example of contemporary international found footage.

Rated: 3/5

I haven't hated a movie this much in a long time, and I've watched thousands and thousands of horror movies in my lifetime. This movie sucked so much. It might have worked as a short by a different director in the V/H/S horror anthology series, but nope. The characters are beyond irritating, the production is awful, the special effects, the music, and the overall look and sound of this movie are sub-par. It isn't funny enough to work as a horror comedy. It isn't scary, depraved, or disturbing enough to satisfy hardcore horror fans, and it doesn't work as a solid introduction for horror newbies. I hate this movie so much. I wish there was only one copy so that I could find it and burn it with fire until it's pure ash. Then, I'd pee on the ash and hose it into the cracks in the sidewalk.
