An American expat joins a team of experts searching an abandoned Austrian farmhouse for historical Nazi documents that may be hidden within it. However, when they discover a secret buried deep in the home's bowels, the team is forced to confront an ancient, insatiable evil intent on consuming them and everything they hold dear. Directed by boundary-pushing filmmaker and actor Johannes Grenzfurthner (MASKING THRESHOLD), Solvent is a "horror odyssey that takes us down a path of madness and refuses to let us go" (Alejandro Turdó, Hoy Sale Cine).

The Film Yap

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

Rated: 3.5/5

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.

Rated: 1.5/5

Cinema Crazed

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.

Elements of Madness

Is there an inevitability to the kind of regressive philosophies that would rather see the world burn than share it or is there a chance for redemption & peace? SOLVENT doesn’t provide an answer ... but one does applaud the middle-finger it throws up ...

Rated: 3.5/5

The multiple layers and subtext in Solvent alone make it worth a watch, and adding the bizarre visuals, creepy locations and contagious psychosis are the icing on the cake.

Rated: 7/10
