Jesse Doppelt Spectrum Culture 09/13/2023
A grab-bag of trendy horror elements that fails to fully find its footing. Go to Full Review
Manuel Betancourt FilmWeek (LAist) 08/17/2023
I found myself more intellectually engaged with as opposed to viscerally engaged, which is not something you want to say about a horror-thriller. Go to Full Review

Greg Pritikin helps the thoroughly modern film feel like a true throwback. Despite a limited budget, the images he crafts with DP Antonio Riestra are quite spectacular. Go to Full Review

The Mistress is well-shot, and the acting is strong. The ending, though, so brilliantly upends and alters perceptions that it elevates the production into must-see territory. Go to Full Review

It's kind of silly, to say the least, and intentionally confounding... Go to Full Review

david c 11/05/2024 The cast turns in an admirable effort but the film never manages to generate any fear at all. The whole thing drags overall and then collapses with the final "twist," which is frankly stolen from a well-known movie that does it much better. See more James M 09/19/2024 Very slow, boring and poor acting. Don't waste your time. See more Patrick S 09/17/2024 I don't know if I've ever seen a movie in which the music has tried so hard to kill its film. It's like whoever wrote the musical score thought, "I'm going to write the most dramatic, traditionally horror-sounding thing possible straight out of the 1930s." It completely takes away from anything on screen. They could have used NO music and it would have been better. John Magaro (the husband) delivers some terrible lines, and there is no chemistry between him and Chasten Harmon (the wife). He doesn't even get to "turn it on" until much too late in the film. I just...don't know what else to say about this movie. Luckily, Chasten performs well here as a distressed and scared wife, but again, it's too late into the movie to carry. Please don't watch this movie. See more Jerod S 10/21/2023 Crazy girlfriend wasn't scary. and the manner in which she was haunting the newlywed's turn of the century house wasn't scary either. See more Voodoo V 08/18/2023 It passed the time ok I guess but if this "Horror movie" was any more "woke" it would be a comedy. ( Best watched in MST3K Style ) See more Bunny K 08/16/2023 The intro is way to long. Not gonna spoil it but please save your time. This movie is not worth it. And the title doesnt match the plot of the movie. See more Read all reviews
