Critics Consensus

Dark, depraved, and unforgettably sordid, Moebius leavens its perversity with originality and wit.

[Moebius] would be easy to dismiss if Kim weren't so sincere and sober in pursuit of his Oedipal and other emotional concerns.

Even by Kim's extreme standards, Moebius maintains such a pitbull hold on its straight-world targets that it enters a shadowy realm of post-subversion.

Rated: 4/5

It's one from the heart, and a twisted tale it is.

His message, framed in a terrifying and morbidly humorous narrative that recalls the tropes and themes of Greek tragedy, is clearer than it's ever been. It's also never been quite this powerful.

It's a ballet of dark desires that seems more inventive after a second viewing, when its shock value takes a back seat to its artistry.

Rated: 3/5

Way Too Indie

It's something twisted you can tell other people about, but looking for anything beyond its grotesque surface is a waste of time.

Artless, exploitative trash pretending to have something to say while not even managing to be fun to watch.

Guys be careful this film is a knockoff of the fantastic 2022 film Morbius starring Jared Leto as Morbius. Whilst the film may share a similar name it is merely a cheap attempt to fool people into watching it
