Cwen handles her emotional extremes well, Grenzfurthner is unafraid to make Ernst a complete jerk, and Gratzner puts across Fredi’s hard-to-rattle attitude with aplomb.

Solvent’s essential issue is that it’s a comedically infused horror film that’s neither frightening nor funny enough.

Weird, creepy and deeply disconcerting, this English-language Austrian horror film delves into the lingering stain of Nazism as a force for recurring evil.

An undeniably fascinating and frightful experience that makes truly creative use of modern and classic filmmaking techniques to make its points.

The film’s chief crime isn’t that it’s pretentious, it’s that it’s boring.

The film here shows an understanding of filmmaking and art that is deep enough to allow the filmmaker to break the rules and make his own rules to create films that are a sort of calculated assault on the sense.

a strange, fascinating POV trip. don’t mistake it for a typical horror movie - it’s here to twist your mind, not just splash blood.

Excessive amount of image sequences (1h30 felt like 2h). Bad acting. Pointless dialog while the main character walks around the town. No payout. I had to write this review because there is no way its score should be that high.

Antifascist horror. Great concept, and I really liked some of the more extreme SFX.
