The Verge

For a mainstream supernatural-fantasy war film, Spectral is curiously devoted to rhapsodizing about science, and considering the moral implications of scientific discovery.

Howard Gorman

NME (New Musical Express)

It's a cracking sci-fi military mystery that apes from various genres whilst yet never feels overly familiar. The ensemble cast works wonders and the special effects are in the same class as most big blockbuster flicks.

Common Sense Media

The battle scenes are frenzied with edge-of-your-seat excitement, and unlike so many other war-themed movies, no clear-cut direction pointing to just how this movie will end.

Rated: 3/5

Instead of going for huge stars, awkward and unneeded backstories, and bloat, Spectral manages to pack in just what a viewer needs to enjoy the plot and journey placed before them.

"The less you know, the better." It's a common phrase used in all walks of life, and it applies perfectly to Nic Mathieu's Spectral.

Spectral probably won't win many awards for originality, but if you're down for a "ghosts vs. soldiers" action flick that doesn't take itself all that seriously [and] moves at a nice pace... then Spectral will probably fit the bill.

Rated: 3.5/5

First half is great, second half falls off a cliff of non-believability.

I found the soundtrack to be a complete nuisance. Unimaginative and ear numbing, Most of the movie is O.K. but the writing tends to be lack luster and pedantic.

Anyone that thinks this is a good sci-fi movie needs a lobotomy and better friends. The script makes no sense, characters and events are completely inconsistent or nonsensical. No backstory is explained at all for anyone or anything, and all the characters are one-dimensional caricatures. No wonder this is a Hungarian movie.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

It's a really good sci fi movie. Great action, lots going on, and you hardly lose interest. My only downfall, was the ending. Such a build-up. Lights were f amazing battle scenes…..but you're left wondering ‘why?'. I won't spoil it too much.
