Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org This is a refreshing and emotionally intelligent film, an exercise in style that never holds back on substance. Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed It’s one of those films that won’t be for everyone, but for those who will get it into, it’s one of those that is riveting and makes you want just a little bit more. Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall It's beautifully shot and edited to evoke emotions that remain deep under the slick, serene surface, and the creepy plot allows for cool physical acting and effects trickery, plus echoes of big ideas as well. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Ben Robins HeyUGuys A delicately built ghost story that deftly drills into the millennial condition, and how easy it’s become to be invisible in the 21st-century. Rated: 4/5 Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Kat Hughes THN They say the line between love and hate is thin, and this is expertly exemplified in Kane’s tragic and traumatic tale. The Dead Thing is an elegant exploration of modern dating that isn’t afraid to highlight just how toxic these encounters can become. Rated: 4/5 Aug 27, 2024 Full Review J Hurtado ScreenAnarchy An engaging watch with more than enough flair to make itself instantly memorable and worthy of praise. Sexy, sad, spooky, and distinctly unnerving, a film for horror fans who prefer their scares to come with long lead ups and plenty of creepy mystery. Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
