Kristin Russo Autostraddle What we get as the audience is a story told exactly as its creator intended, with a powerful complexity that lasts far past the initial hour of viewing. May 29, 2020 Full Review Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter With a gripping performance by Gaby Hoffmann... the first feature by its writer-director is a winningly unsettling genre exercise whose style and polish belie the constraints of its microbudgeted five-day shoot. Aug 25, 2015 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) Gaby Hoffmann gives a tremendously emotional performance. Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast Stewart Thorndike emerges as a director to watch with this unsettling, queered up version of Rosemary's Baby. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 29, 2020 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed It tackles difficult subjects, subjects few dare to cover and even fewer manage to bring forth the anguish, torture, guilt, sadness, inner turmoil, etc of a grieving mother. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 12, 2020 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com What could easily have spiraled into a campy marathon instead gains a remarkable semblance of engagement from its poker faced resoluteness and a committed central performance from Gaby Hoffman. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 30, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

PridePosterStudios Can’t stop thinking about Tate & Lyle. Now I want syrup Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review Audience Member Bizarre, effective, powerful flick. And only 1 hour long. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Fine. Just Rosemary's Baby but in the 2010s basically. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Wonderfully understated deal-with-the-devil story. The clues are subtle and the characters are natural. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Just a flat out terrible movie with terrible writing and acting. How did this receive a 100????? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Modern version of Rosemary's baby...not quite as complex and sophisticated but still good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
