Siddhant Adlakha Variety A story told through dreams and shadows that, while often repetitive in its approach, is still effectively told. Jun 9, 2024 Full Review Kenneth Seward Jr. But Why Tho? A Geek Community The Damned (2024) is an intriguing horror film that creatively showcases the damaging effects of guilt. Initially frightening, thanks to a solid cast and eerie atmosphere, it has the potential to stick with viewers long after the credits roll. Rated: 8/10 Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Jim Vorel Paste Magazine The Damned gets by more than well enough via the elemental strength of its moral dilemma and the pristine beauty and unrelenting inhospitality of the Icelandic wilderness that is its scene-stealing star. Rated: 7.9/10 Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Latoya Austin Movie Marker First time feature director Thordur Palsson has crafted an impressively eerie, morality tale within this remote, mountainous setting which excites and unnerves in equal measure. Rated: 4/5 Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Film Obsessive While the film is fairly paint-by-numbers in terms of the expectations of the genre, it shows off first-time feature director Palsson’s keen eye for sinister stories. Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Edward Douglas The Weekend Warrior (Substack) An impressive debut feature from Palsson that makes me think Hollywood will be reaching out to use his skills on their projects in the future.
