Critics Consensus

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

Catherine Bray

Guardian

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.

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

Decent watch. Pacing is TERRIBLE. There's too many long, drawn out scenes of nothing. No replay value

This intriguing film begins well. The remote, desolate location is beautifully filmed and appropriately mysterious. Plus, Campbell is particularly strong and affecting here as a park ranger searching for answers. However, the film unfortunately lost me during the vague and puzzling nightmare sequence in the last reel. Some critics may have viewed this section as “artistic”, but to me it was simply incomprehensible, and it marred an otherwise compelling effort.

It was okay. Pretty well-acted, but the ending disappointed me.

The case of a new missing girl revives the childhood tragedy of a back-country ranger: the disappearance of her own sister. Motivated by this recent case, she embarks on a dangerous journey through the trails of a haunted forest. "Love, Dark, And Deep" is a piece of contemporary American folk horror that explores the unexplained cases of missing people in the wilderness. The movie leverages one of the most common fears of every human being: the fear of getting lost. Despite its uneven jump scares and inconclusive ending, the movie is effective in delivering a creepy atmosphere.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Absolutely the worst movie I’ve seen ever. The plot was unclear and disjointed. I lost 3.99 on what posed as a horror movie and turned out to be a piece of junk.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
