Clint Worthington RogerEbert.com Minor sins are easy to forgive for such a bold, idiosyncratic anti-Western as this, the kind we don’t often get. Rated: 3/4 Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Phil Hoad Guardian If not quite in the top tier of 21st-century westerns, this supernatural oater from director Ned Crowley has a distinctive silhouette. Rated: 4/5 Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Jaylan Salah Geek Vibes Nation Killing Faith is not a supernatural thriller or a horror movie. It’s a sad anthem on the decay of humanity and the nonchalance of survival. An enjoyable movie from start to finish. Rated: 6.5/10 Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Zach Youngs InSession Film Killing Faith wants to be unique. It wants to have a genre sandwich, but instead of the layers of genre fixings piled into a neat package, they spill out in odd ways and the whole thing falls apart. Rated: D Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Crowley’s audacious vision combined with some firmly committed and capable performances ensure we are never disengaged from this mysterious and macabre Old West odyssey. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views “Killing Faith” consists of amazing parts that do not add up to a cohesive whole. It needed more work before filming ever started instead of relying on the audience’s generous spirit to be satiated with a lot of shiny, inconsistent distractions Oct 5, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Sarah K The most unique film I’ve seen all year. If this had studio backing it would be a hit. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/25 Full Review Tom Bearrows Loved this indie film directed by Ned Crowley. Shot in N Mexico, it features great writing and acting. Go see it!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/25 Full Review Jennifer Watkins "Killing Faith" is a gripping movie that explores belief and morality. With intense situations and unexpected twists, it keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, making it a must-see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/25 Full Review JOSEPH H. So glad I traded in my Taylor swift movie tickets to see this - great original movie, great cast, can wait to see it again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/25 Full Review Frank2 N. Ned Crowley nails it. Well done. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/25 Full Review Douglas E. Can’t wait for Crowley’s next film. Loved his first, Middle Man (2016) and now his second Killing Faith. He brings his unique view on story telling - captures the imagination. Hope I don’t have to wait 9 years for the third. Get busy Ned! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
