Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 02/22/2018
Writer-director Derek Nguyen's supernatural thriller settles confidently in a place between classy and trashy. Go to Full Review Scott Tobias Variety 02/21/2018
A tonally calamitous mlange that's nonetheless compelling for its absence of caution. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 02/19/2018
Although not particularly original in its recycling of familiar genre tropes, the stylish film should well satisfy horror aficionados while engaging more general audiences as well. Go to Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 04/12/2020

Aegis A Sep 14 phim kinh dị nhưng đéo có con ma nào, toàn cảnh người lớn, đánh giá chung là tôi bị lừa, nói chung phim như buồi See more Benjamin W 05/09/2023 Seriously contrived plot that made little sense in the end, and acting so distractingly bad at times that made even coherent parts of this film hard to pay attention to. If you're just in it for the jump scares? I still wouldn't bother. It's extremely predictable and the film has a habit of nudging you in the ribs and winking every time one is imminent. See more 08/19/2021 It was amazing. The storyline is full of surprise, and the acting is just right. See more 06/17/2021 It'll be mostly hit or miss for some, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sure it's flawed, mostly in the middle of the film, but the beginning is great, and the last 20 minutes are a remarkable surprise (and outright tragic) as well as a nice change for something that felt like a generic ghost story. See more @c0urtn3y 10/06/2020 ugh; it started out SO strong, but turned out to be a bunch of people just dressing up for Halloween. not really, but that's what it looked/felt like. the story was pretty forgettable too. i didn't love it & i don't recommend it. See more 10/17/2018 SUBTITLES. Not scary but has a decent story and a nice ending. See more Read all reviews
