Katelyn Nelson Daily Grindhouse 08/04/2024
...immersive in an almost inarticulable way with the kind of horror in its climax that has its teeth sunk in before you’ve even realized it’s bitten. It is, also, a novel approach to the forced confrontation with history we occasionally seem to need. Go to Full Review
Kyle Logan ScreenAnarchy 04/28/2023
Amazing on several levels. ... Brings a horrific audio drama into cinema without losing any of the power of its images or its audio-only narrative, but also succeeds in exploring the themes of the far more self-consciously artful film-within-a-film. Go to Full Review
Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful 02/08/2023
4/5
RAZZENNEST is an utterly original auditory experiment that works as sharp satire, hilarious meta-commentary, and absolute nightmare fuel. It's so singularly odd (in the best way) that it's impossible to capture its magic through a simple review. Go to Full Review
Evan Dossey Midwest Film Journal 01/10/2023
A clever and scary satire. Go to Full Review

4/5
Having had its premiere at Fantastic Fest 2022 in the Burnt Ends section, "Razzennest" continues to screen elsewhere, pushing indie audiences to go places they’ve never gone in the process. Go to Full Review
Ray Lobo Battle Royale With Cheese 10/19/2022
Razzennest takes more risks, is more erudite, and is simply better than the majority of indie horror out there. Go to Full Review

j s 12/01/2024 Didn't know anything about it, and it really surprised me. See more Motte L 11/15/2024 Razzennest is a real test of your imagination. The challenge here is trying to visualize all that you hear. And that might not be easy for everyone. You are forced to create scary images in your head as well to completement what you believe is being communicated by the story. The entire experience is unique and certainly might not be for everyone. By the time it ends I found myself to have painted mental pictures of all the characters and how I felt they would look and move like. But that could just all be in my head and as a result of my own personal experiences. See more gregg b 11/12/2024 like a modern day audio play. but also not. See more gunner h 04/27/2024 Really fine audio horror comedy craziness. See more Megan K 12/21/2023 This was ridiculous. People left behind the golden age of the radio for a reason; a moving picture is much more entertaining. I would say this should have been an audiobook, not a movie, but there's too much happening in a confused mess of yelling and foreign language for even that to work. See more Stoner J @Stoner 12/11/2023 Just terrible. Not a fan of this audio horror. It's interesting but nowhere near a real movie. What's up with the decisions in this to only out subtitles to every 3rd sentence when the possessed are speaking German! And the subtitles that do show up, make no sense whatsoever and you can't follow what's going on, actual video would have helped this out. masking Threshold is at least followable and much more interesting, but again, this audio only movies, nope See more Read all reviews
