Variety

Without much in the way of psychological depth, or potency to its fantastical elements, “Queen of Bones” makes a pretty tepid overall impression, given the expectations raised by its basic themes.

Screen-Space (Substack)

Authentically staged and bolstered by a simmering supernatural undercurrent, QUEEN OF BONES is well-served by its leading lady and a grasp of sepia-tinged atmospherics, both of which patch over some thinly-plotted moments.

Rated: 3/5

Cinemalogue

Emphasizing atmosphere over plot, this bleak episode of folk horror is more tedious than thrilling.

Loud and Clear Reviews

Queen of Bones is still a decidedly mixed bag, with early moments of poignancy undermined by a stilted script and overambitious plot.

These movies need to stop trying to push WHITE AGENDA in certain scenes, ok. Everybody knows that witchcraft is a watered down version vodou. And that the drawing of sigils began in ancient times...and guess who taught whites how to read...the Egyptians/Kemetics. But instead of putting a (real sigil) on the front of the book of shadows that they found. You put an aegishjalmur. Which is first a compass...but no sailor Second,... can be drawn with spit on the forehead for glory in battle...but no huge battle in progress. Third..exists mainly as an emblem in the "poetic edda". Angli-Saxons who have real viking roots are getting tired of you Neanderthals using or should I say misusing their baubles. As soon as I saw what was on front of that book I turned the movie off. I am clear on who my ancestors were and on others ancestors as well. And it is time to start taking their history which is our history VERY seriously.

So pain achingly dull that I couldn’t even finish it. I barely made it to the halfway point. So slow moving and uninteresting.

I liked it. Reminds me of Shyamalan style. I appreciate folk/supernatural drama movies that have a little bit of everything.

Tepid is the adjective one critic gave this movie. I agree. Some elements work at various points but It just doesn’t come together.

I loved this movie! The acting was really well done! It has a quiet - but real witchy undertone to it. This is not a movie for people looking for jump scares or cgi monsters. It's made in real-life style.
