San Jose Mercury News

In his directorial debut, Jed Hart takes bold creative swings and refuses to lead his story to a predictable outcome.

This is a scenario that just gets under my skin...

Irish Times

Pitches the tone perfectly. The build from irritation to fury to desperation progresses at a steady pace. Black Hitchcockian humour ... is supplemented by Ward’s comic turn as a bumbler who offers his pal charmingly hopeless assistance

Rated: 4.5/5

Surprisingly effective horror movie that is a descent into madness that would make any Lovecraft fan proud. A scary and funny watch.

Rated: 8.5/10

Warped Perspective

There are some issues with Restless, but its lead actress is never in doubt, and one of its key strengths lies in showing just how quickly a lack of sleep can erode your sanity.

Rated: C

Chuck Bowen

Style Weekly (Richmond, VA)

Hart shrewdly blends a British kitchen sink movie in the vein of, say Ken Loach, with a rough, equally class-conscious Brit thriller along the lines of an “Eden Lake.”

As poignant and cathartic as it is unhinged and unnerving, this is why I love independent cinema! Who knew classical music and revenge horror would go so well together but it was absolutely perfect. This is a unique movie that all horror/thriller fans should make time to see ASAFP!

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
