Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com These creators are talented in every way one can use that word, and that would be true even if they weren’t working with their most loved ones. Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Clint Worthington RogerEbert.com It’s a somber, meditative chamber piece, albeit one soaked in wood and blood and philosophical musings on the nature of death Aug 22, 2025 Full Review 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 Sharai Bohannon A Nightmare On Fierce Street Podcast [Mother of Flies] is a return to form for the first family of indie horror. It has the beautiful and sick imagery, punk rock folk horror vibes, and everything else we expect from them and then some. Rated: 4/5 Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Amie Simon I Love Splatter From its gloriously bloody opening to its stunning reveal, this film is a poetic meditation on decay, disease, desperation & healing; a magical forest wonderland of ritual, faith & blood; a gorgeous piece of art made with pure, creative love. Sep 21, 2025 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film If there were any justice in the world, Toby Poser would be in the running for major awards for her performance. Rated: 5/5 Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
