Richard Brody The New Yorker 02/24/2023
With its stark action and its clever techniques, the director Pete Ohs’s off-kilter ghost story has an old-fashioned, downbeat allure; it plays like a modern update on a Hollywood B-movie. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 02/17/2023
A horror-comedy that doesn’t offer much in the way of scares or laughs but is strangely fascinating regardless. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 02/14/2023
A brazenly odd yet gently appealing horror-comedy... Go to Full Review
Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana The Geek Show (UK) 07/09/2024
Jethica is largely a beautifully cinematic expression of loneliness and the inbetween. Go to Full Review
Q.V. Hough Vague Visages 12/08/2023
Pete Ohs’ Jethica expands the possibilities of cinema. More of an innovative genre mashup than a traditional slow burn thriller, the 72-minute flick comedically addresses a serious topic — stalking — while exploring the emotional lives of ghosts. Go to Full Review
Vanessa Maki The Mary Sue 12/08/2023
I recommend Jethica to anyone who enjoys stunning scenery, a somewhat throwback film style, good performances from the leads, an unnerving depiction of stalking, and some comedic moments throughout. Go to Full Review

dave d 12/03/2023 An unorthodox film that I didn't get. There are ghosts and there are special rules and it's kinda sci-fi, but it also wants to be somewhat realistic. At 71 minutes it is a breeze and the audio is building to something that never happens. The reveal doesn't satisfy. There are some elements here that work, but then it becomes a ghost film. Not my cup of tea. Final Score: 4.3/10 See more Christian K @ckacar 11/01/2023 Well made but initially dragging, ends up being way away from you expected it to be, and I loved the ending, as unexpected as it was. See more Franois-Olivier G 07/18/2023 An interesting thought experiment on ghosthood, gracefully displayed. Too long despite its 70 minutes runtime. See more prawnda s 07/09/2023 it's interesting, but some scenes and dialogue feel a little too drawn out. screambox is not known for making finished products, so the 110 minute runtime is probably for the best. budget is very low, but i liked it enough. i'm taking off another half star because the after credits scene was 100% redundant. one of the other reviews said "it came full circle in a satisfying way" or something, and frankly it did not. sure, they used some of the same phrasing, but there was zero impact to this scene, and the criteria for IDing a ghost just didn't have any kind of ring to it. "can you touch my hand?" was just an empty and meaningless final line. we did not need a fourth ghost, especially one who is only on screen for 10 seconds. See more Chester 05/21/2023 Jessica,Jessica,Jethica...[Potential Thpoilers...I mean Spoilers] This movie features the most annoying ghost in the history of cinema. The story is simple, set in a barren landscape, and only has about 5 characters but is atmospheric and interesting enough to get a perfect score from me. I think some of the "ghost rules" were invented just for this film but they serve their purpose. Also includes some unexpected humor. See more Glenn Thomas D @Glippityglorp 03/09/2023 An OK film that could have been a really good short. Even at a little over an hour, it manages to feel long, because nothing happens in the first half hour. After that, it's fun and clever. See more Read all reviews
