Ben Turner The Pink Lens It’s clever, it’s smug and it never quite lets us have the pay-off it was dangling before us. Rated: 3/5 Oct 7, 2023 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Writer-director Alexander McGregor Birrell gleefully creates a mysterious vibe, adding suspense and meta flourishes in each scene. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 19, 2023 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast A few too many dream sequence fake-outs makes The Latent Image feel like a short stretched to feature length (which it is), but some inventive camerawork and sexually charged performances from Tonks and Clift elevate the lackluster screenplay. Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2023 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast The feature adaptation of Birrell's short is stylish (we love a split diopter shot!) and sexy (the murder role play scenario), though the screenplay is occasionally too reliant on dream sequences/hallucinations. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 18, 2023 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat Creepiness wins the day, thanks to decent characterizations and a strong cast. Rated: 7.5/10 Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee Birrell overloads the movie with cheap, irritating dream/hallucination fake-outs, which serve only as repetitive padding. Rated: C Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
