"Look Away" mostly fails as a "killer teen" movie. The pace is too slow, and the mood too somber.

Common Sense Media

Director Assaf Bernstein's version of this in Look Away turns into a slow-paced horror film that aims for depth but delivers cheap thrills.

Rated: 1/5

It might not be the savviest horror ever made due to its juvenile messaging, but its clean and cold aesthetics and villainous characters just about manage to pull it through.

Rated: 2/5

Eye for Film

This is an interesting film whose serious problems shouldn't be allowed to eclipse the good work on display. Nevertheless, you may find it uncomfortable to watch, and not always in a good way.

Rated: 3/5

The film leaves an unpleasant puritanical aftertaste. [Full review in Spanish]

Not sure why all the hate on this movie…..it’s a great story with beautiful people. Cast, direction, cinematography and script are all excellent. Yes..a little slow but a great watch thriller.

India Eisley is good as poor Maria & the wronged airam l. I originally thought this to be a story of a repressed girl who goes over the edge, but it’s really a sinister ghostly horror story based on rejection & revenge. It’s a bit muddled at times, but anger & rage isn’t always directed where it’s supposed to go.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Quite well shot movie, anchored by a capable actor and supported by a good cast. The writing didn't quite stick the landing but it wasn't bad. For its genre it probably could have done with a few more spine chilling moments and a bit of pace.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Not by any means a great movie, but I enjoyed many parts of this film. The plot was okay and kept me tied in and there were decent jump scares. Would watch again (maybe)
