Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness ... manages to stick its overall intention regarding generational differences and how the so-called “selfish generation” may be the ones to finally destroy the perpetual cycle of familial trauma. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 9, 2025 Full Review Tyler Doupe Dread Central The Bloomquist Brothers have done it again. ‘Self-Help’ is a witty horror picture sure to keep you guessing until the end. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 7, 2025 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore Self-Help is a fierce attack on leaders, cult or otherwise, who prey on the vulnerable by pushing the fallacy that they’re the only ones who can help people actualise their truest, best self. Rated: 3/5 Jul 3, 2025 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat Self-Help is a stunningly intense ride. Bloomquist masterfully navigates all the genres, allowing each one the appropriate time to breathe. Rated: 10/10 Jul 2, 2025 Full Review Kat Hughes THN Erik Bloomquist continues to be the workhorse of genre cinema with this interesting, but at times unsteady, analyses of toxic maternal relationships, and the perils of self improvement. Rated: 3/5 Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Jared Mobarak Jaredmobarak.com It all adds up to an invigorating ride that supplies everything necessary for horror fans to latch onto at the surface and a captivating human story of imperfect souls doing their best to, ultimately, accept themselves underneath.
