Critics Consensus

Effectively playing on fundamental fears, Lovely, Dark, and Deep is a creepy calling card for debuting director Georgina Campbell that's further distinguished by Georgina Campbell's haunting performance.

I am loving all the films that XYZ is acquiring but this one. Yikes. Slow AF

A solid start and interesting idea gets bogged-down in psychobabble. An utterly unlikeable lead character (is it really so hard to write characters who are actually human now and again?) and over-reliance on that annoying trope Historical Trauma (seriously, get over yourself!) don't help. There's a good cosmic horror movie buried somewhere here - but it never digs bits way to the surface.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I created an account just to make this review. This movie is horrible and makes no sense. Save yourself time and do not watch this.

Interesting and eerie, yet never really scaring me. Lovely, Dark and Deep is a well made horror film that could've been scarier, but still kept me invested in the mystery of the movie.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

5 stars for suspense, and that's about it. The movie was actually quite uneventful but the suspense is what keeps you highly attentive. In my opinion, If "they" were given more depth and substance, this could've been an epic.

Really sorry I paid for this. Nonsensical story with some scattered jump scares.

Georgina Campbell is well cast in the lead role... she achieves a balance between vulnerability and strength that means you’re rooting for her to survive, but she’s not an invincible badass.

Rated: 3/5

There is nothing kind about writer-director Teresa Sutherland’s haunting suspense yarn Lovely, Dark, and Deep.

Rated: 3.5/4

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

Sutherland’s blood-chiller repurposes not only Muir’s words but the woods themselves. By its final third, this dark story will have sunk its gnarled roots deep into your psyche and settled into your nightmares.

Rated: 3/4

InSession Film

Lovely, Dark, and Deep still manages to create something fresh, tactfully keeping its reliance on recognizable, cult-adjacent themes that give a heftier weight to its chills to a reasonable minimum.

Rated: B

Writer/director Teresa Sutherland deploys some nifty visuals that play with darkness and the outdoor setting effectively enough.

Rated: 6/10
