Nightmare on Film Street

The McManus Brothers craft a tale that is equally unusual and cryptic.

Rated: 8/10

It wouldn't be possible to challenge all the many shaky premises this movie hangs its logic on, but it's fair to say that most of The Block Island Sound is slow and dull.

Rated: 2/5

A film that is only arbitrary in the way its story develops. [Full Review in Spanish]

Johnny Loftus

Decider

An impressively-crafted horror indie with a boatload of suspense, a great sense of character, and the ability to frighten with neither ghostly nor bloody interference.

Strange Harbors

The Block Island Sound ratchets up a creeping atmosphere...all in service of a powerful allegory for mental illness, inherited ailments, and the deteriorating state of our world.

Rated: B+

Absolutely terrible. Do not waste your time. What is wrong with filmmakers at the minute? A few films recently fail to have any sort of ending, this film doesn't disappoint. Terrible slow movie from start to finish. Gutted. I think all these films were started before covid and then had to cobble something together once Covid hit.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

This film is weird and brilliant. Something different. I was captured from start to finish. Give it a go.

This thriller contains little blood or violence—it relies more on effects and atmosphere. The ending was a little farfetched, but the payoff was still positive.

This is actually the worst movie I've ever seen. Ai could've wrote a better movie. PAINFULLY slow, horrible acting, no backstory. I'm genuinely angry I wasted my time watching this.

Starts off ok but as the movie progresses the characters become increasingly unrelatable and two dimensional. Harry seems to be the only one who appears to have any kind of normal emotions, Poor script, bad acting, unbelievable character interactions topped off with a massively predictable plot, especially the ending..

How is Audry one hundred percent chill with her dad's disappearance thirty-six hours after it happens? Just cool with it all. Just an all around unlikable, bland character and bad actor. The possibility of a sea monster controlling people on land is more believable than some of the writing and acting. Also the sound sounds like someone's gurgly tummy when they've eaten twenty chili dogs and Harry's sweaty, grey skin only added to that queasy image. I was waiting for his bowels to blow most of the film.
