At once unintentionally hilarious and borderline reprehensible, and it’s the closest approximation to the disaster of “The Room” since Tommy Wiseau’s cult favorite first graced arthouse theaters over 20 years ago.

Rated: 0/4

Flickering Myth

No tragedy or traumatic incident is left unturned for exploitation in writer/director Barry Jay’s relentlessly unpleasant, embarrassingly constructed Like Father Like Son

Rated: .5/5

Cinemalogue

More familiar than fresh, this low-budget thriller about violent family legacies wallows in its savagery instead of providing deeper insight.

Elements of Madness

... there’s absolutely no tension whatsoever in the tale, made worse by frequent choices of style over substance which disturb the flow and undercut the sincerity, and a religious element that never quite connects to the whole.

Rated: 1.5/5

Writer/director Barry Jay's storytelling and filmmaking are incompetent enough to believe most of the movie is just some kind of terrible accident.

Rated: 0.5/4
