Catherine Bray Guardian Is there a sense of diminishing returns eventually, as the genre is endlessly remixed and sampled? Will horror eat itself? Not yet, says The Draft! -- or at the very least, it will make the act of autophagia a highly entertaining one. Rated: 4/5 Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle The payoff is all part of the fun, as Fuadi and his cast push Indonesian horror into a new direction. Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Kevin Wight The Wee Review </i>The Draft!</i> stops aiming for any actual scares and contents itself with throwing as many genre nods at the wall as it can, moving onto the next without waiting to see if any stick. Rated: 2 Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Paul Emmanuel Enicola The Asian Cut What I see as the film’s strongest suit, however, is Fuadi’s evident love for the genre. The Draft! sees the director critiquing and celebrating horror’s quirks and stereotypes in equal measure. Rated: 3/5 Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots While the meta-concept of placing characters in a film that’s still being written doesn’t feel as fresh as it could’ve, the film takes a well-worn setup and infuses it with a self-aware, chaotic, and absurdist energy that works well with the fluid script. Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Jonathan DeHaan Nightmare on Film Street The Draft! rips open the world of Horror movies in clever and creative ways that we have not yet seen. It's self-deprecating, self-aware, and made with a genuine love for its own faults. Rated: 8.5/10 Oct 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
