Genuinely creepy, dark hints/undertones/past, makes you guess and the ending is bleak ... Love it

Director Eduardo Sánchez & writer Jamie Nash, still reminds one of my all time favourite horrors that left a lasting impression on me. The ever growing presence of uneasiness is built upon the horror of addiction & childhood trauma which is supported by the emotional & devastating performance from Gretchen Lodge.

Profoundly boring. Ends before any logical conclusion is ever reached. Ideas are started and never finished. Not at all scary either. Very disappointing.

Cefaleia C

As a horror movie, it has its moments, so I would recommend it to people that like the genre... But the way the characters behave is illogical, especially considering the history of the main characters. And the story presents too many questions without answers and this is a common trend in movies today that are just lazy in story telling.

Director Eduardo Sánchez (Nancy Drew, Taken) tries to deliver the same found footage Frights as the Blair Witch Project but kinda fails at it

If the people in it behaved in a logical way, then there wouldn't be a movie.

London Evening Standard

Sanchez has not had an easy time since Blair Witch - and this hand-held rerun is unlikely to make it any better.

Rated: 1/5

The film presents us with too many unearned revelations, and it unravels.

Rated: 2/5

The Wolfman Cometh

The twisted and frightening journey is enthralling enough to let you overlook that the conclusion is ultimately confounding.

Rated: 4/5

Hollywood Jesus

This sort of mimics the spectrum of stances people take today on the issues of evil and possession in the world. Lovely Molly balances all of these possibilities in a very deft and raw manner.

Way Too Indie

Eduardo Sanchez may have one horror classic with his name on it, but Lovely Molly shows that Blair Witch didn't establish a new name in horror. It was only lightning in a bottle.
