A quantum physicist develops a machine that creates a tunnel to a sub-atomic parallel universe. In his quest to prove the machine's efficacy, he inadvertently discovers an unorthodox cancer treatment when transporting lab rats inter-dimensionally. He now recruits human subjects to legitimize his efforts.

Variety

When it begins toying with sci-fi tropes and possibilities, it becomes both aesthetically and narratively malformed and feels lost in a liminal space between acerbic gallows humor and existential genre fiction without fully leaning into either one.

Meagan Navarro

Bloody Disgusting

Reeder’s pitch-black sense of humor instead places this twisted slice of sci-fi horror closer to Tales from the Crypt for its almost whimsical sense of macabre justice.

Rated: 3.5/5

In Review Online

While there’s the lingering sense that there’s a more consistent nightmare of a film just out of reach, Reeder and his cast and crew accomplish quite a bit with their modest resources, and the film stands as a spirited entry in the tradition it occupies.

The Last Thing I See

The A-Frame takes some big, wild swings, and though they don’t always connect, it’s a compelling watch and there’s a lot to recommend. And it's occasionally quite gooey.

The Blogging Banshee

The A-Frame is an understated horror sci-fi tale of scientific discovery, unethical methods, hubris, and the quest for life in the face of death.

Rated: 6/10

Elements of Madness

"The A-Frame" delivers on its promise of a thrilling sci-fi adventure thanks in large part to Namerode and Whitworth’s performances and the execution of Reeder’s vision, resulting in an almost ‘80s synth thriller throwback.

Rated: 3.5/5
