Dennis Harvey Variety A densely textured, quite gorgeous dive into folkloric witchiness that avoids nearly all anticipated clichés, finally arriving at something not so much terrifying as unexpectedly poignant. Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Matt Lynch In Review Online [The Adams family] tend to be more thoughtful... than what usually hits the festival circuit... Mother of Flies, is no exception, though the crew may be getting to the point where it’s time to expand their horizons into something more elaborate. Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Hunter Bush MovieJawn The gorgeous cinematography accentuates the tranquility of the woods, heightening the disquieting undercurrent that hums underneath everything, allowing for scares that bloom before you like a dark flower... Aug 9, 2025 Full Review Rebecca Sayce FILMHOUNDS Magazine It's a raw, bloody, and magical masterpiece that is the culmination of more than a decade of genre filmmaking for the Adams Family, and one that will be hard to forget. Rated: 5/5 Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Bee Delores B-Sides & Badlands Mother of Flies arrives as one of the best films of the Fantasia Festival. And it’s a shock to no one. What they’ve managed to do here is exemplary work, operating as an essential piece of folk horror we’ll be talking about for years to come. Rated: 4/5 Aug 6, 2025 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore Mother of Flies is one of the most profound films in any genre of the past decade about death, as it refuses to let death rest solely in the realm of the ugly and the feared. Rated: 4.5/5 Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
