Little White Lies

plays out like a reimagining of The Wicker Man, although that film’s uptight male Christian copper has become a laid-back female vicar whose maternal status challenges the original’s patriarchal values.

Leslie Felperin

Guardian

Director William Brent Bell (best known for the insipid Orphan prequel Orphan: First Kill) can’t work up a proper head of suspense, no matter how many poppets made of human hair and twigs he hangs on trees...

Rated: 2/5

Meagan Navarro

Bloody Disgusting

Lord of Misrule can’t fully escape the trappings established by quintessential folk horror films like The Wicker Man, but Bell gives it his all to subvert many of the tropes and make it entertaining.

Rated: 2.5/5

Much could have been done with all this material, but “Lord of Misrule” ends up doing very little, resulting in an occasionally interesting experience, but one generally lacking in ambition and atmosphere. Full review in Spanish.

Rated: 2/5

Daily Record (UK)

The mystery at the heart of Lord of Misrule never quite grips the way it aims to and the ending is a little too convenient.

Film Focus Online

Despite feeling occasionally familiar and predictable, it's strong performances, superb visuals and tangible atmosphere make it worth a watch. Ineson and Middleton excel, and the folklore vibes are unmatched.

Rated: 3/5

Loved it. I don’t get the hate. Not a Wicker Man copy cat. I liked that her character was a minister and it didn’t go the route of exorcist/the power of Christ compels you bs..she had to abandon god to find her child. I also loved that simply facing the demon made it go away but no one had been brave enough to do it. Also, Ralph Ineson is just a dominant presence every time. Not a perfect ending, wish the townspeople hadn’t killed the husband in horrific fashion or else it’d be more realistic to see them all smiling in church that next Sunday. But I think it was as good an ending as it could’ve possibly been outside of burning that village to the ground. 9/10 cult classic incoming

Joke of a movie. The director should retire ASAP. What a total waste of time. GAR BA GE. Total, absolute, undisputable rubbish.

The Lord of Misrule is a fine movie, but its only problem does not come from itself. The abundance of folk town stories is the biggest disadvantage of the movie. You know what is going to happen. No surprises at all. At least for me, let's say.
