Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 03/08/2017
The screenplay, co-written by Gass-Donnelly with Colin Frizzell, manages to be simultaneously lacking in coherence and utterly predictable, with viewers earning no points for guessing which one of the characters turns out to be the villain. Go to Full Review

1/4
Boring, derivative, and infuriatingly illogical, Lavender is a ghost story with no thrills, no surprises, and no sense. Go to Full Review
Kristy Puchko Nerdist 03/04/2017
Beyond its unsettling intro, it steadily becomes a middling thriller. Go to Full Review

This movie does not have any new ideas... but when an ending is good sometimes stuff can be forgiven. Go to Full Review
Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 04/18/2020
3/5
... that's fine and good if the viewer goes in knowing and just wanting to see a mystery unfold with not all of its questions being answered. Go to Full Review
Julie Crawford North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) 04/17/2019
6/10
Extra points to Gass-Donnelly for setting most of his scares during the daytime; even some of the familiar conventions of the genre (mazes, kids' lullabies, terror-fraught cornfields) seem fresh in the light of day. Go to Full Review

molly b Nov 16 Not my typical genre but I was pleasantly surprised with Lavender. Admittedly, it did have a few lulls - as I feel most movies today have w/ our limited attention spans - Abbie, Diego, and the somewhat star-studded cast (hello Justin Long??) help to ease these moments with their performances. Really enjoyed that the plot didn’t fully unravel until the actual last moments of the film. [Also, a great recommendation if you are looking for a suspense/thriller movie but might be with someone who isn’t a fan or gets scared easily - I’d say it ultimately gives the viewer a full circle movie with a satisfying (and weirdly happy) ending.] See more D P Sep 13 Very much so a regular horror movie, right in the middle of the scale on all metrics. See more Caitlyn L Sep 7 So dumb. Waste of time. Nothing happens. The “plot” begins at the last 5mins of the movie. An hour and a half waiting for something to happen. Waste of time. I never post a review but wow, total waste of time. The “plot” isn't even a plot, so dumb. Waste of time is the nicest way I can put it. Wanted to be nice and save you the time. -0 review. See more Lucas C 05/13/2024 Achei o filme "ok" ! Até pq ,sinceramente ,não sei o que o diretor queria fazer aqui ,um filme religioso ? Um terror Psico ? Drama infantil? Temas sensíveis? What? Sério, eu senti mais imcomodo do enredo desse filme do que das próprias cenas de suspense que também pelo amor kskskks Cade o suspense ? Juro que tava tentando entrar no clima mistério, mais a direção deu pistas do que se tratava logo no começo do filme ,então.... Mais um filme com uma direção um pouco confusa no que queria abordar,o único ponto que quero exaltar é o o drama da personagem e muito intrigante mesmo, de resto é só isso !
