Critics Consensus

Led by strong performances from Jocelin Donahue and Melora Walters, Offseason is a solid supernatural horror story that casts a sneaky spell.

Amy Nicholson

FilmWeek (LAist)

A small and occasionally strong thriller. It reminds me of an extended Twilight Zone episode.

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

Despite a wonderfully eerie atmosphere, this moody examination of guilt and mourning is too generic to scare and too predictable to surprise.

Austin Chronicle

Chilling and unsettling, intimate yet monstrously vast in its cosmic horrors...

B-Sides & Badlands

Keating stages an enthralling ghost story about human deterioration, inherited trauma, and grief.

Nightmare on Film Street

Offseason is ultimately more about mood than action. Viewers will no doubt feel the strain of Keating’s deliberate pacing and the frustration of his answering questions with even more questions.

Rated: 8/10

Nashville Scene

The vibe is very Messiah of Evil with some Fulci feels mixed in, and it’s resonant in unexpected ways. It also gets at the very specific kinds of obstinacy that come from Floridian menace and the way the populace responds to it.

This should have been a masterpiece, a real awesome horror movie. The cinematography is gorgeous. The atmosphere is really interesting, mysterious and weird. Also, the acting is very good. But I'm sorry to say that the last part of the movie is so cliché, that it ends up to be a real disappointment. What a shame.

It’s a slow slog that just never pays off. It’s one of those where I immediately check Reddit for “Ending explained” and nope, it’s not deeper than I thought. Just over.

Worth a watch for the atmosphere. A couple of shots like the bar scene will stick with you. Someone else mentioned Silent Hill and that popped into my mind watching as well. Don't expect some great story or twist you don't see coming, but a very well done little film given the material.

Creepier than I was expecting. Very creatively written of what is essentially a difficult story to tell. Worth sticking it out.

Made it about 10 minutes in and gave up. I won't spoil it but if you make it further, let me know if it was 83 minutes well spent. Looks great, lead actress is convincing and the feel is spooky. But I can get that from a lot of movies that actually deliver much sooner. Slow burns I get, but don't have me waiting around and you, like the leading actress, are just wandering in the mist and woods like "anybody?" " are you here?" Not after I finish this review.
