Phil Hoad Guardian If Cronin had stayed similarly grounded, he might have had one of the best British horror films in years on his hands; as it is, he hasn’t, but has a pretty promising future instead. Rated: 3/5 Jun 11, 2024 Full Review Rebecca Sayce FILMHOUNDS Magazine The Moor is an emotionally exhausting, terror-inducing look at trauma, grief, and regret that is not uncommon in horror but feels fresh and exciting through the eyes of up-and-coming director Cronin. Rated: 5/5 Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Jorge Loser Espinof [The Moor] offers one of the most powerful endings of horror cinema in a long time... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Dec 19, 2024 Full Review MontiLee Stormer MovieReelist.com The buildup of the crime aspect only to have the mystical intrude and undermine the entire case, feels like a war of writers, neither having enough for a full feature. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 18, 2024 Full Review Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana Moving Pictures Film Club with hold-your-breath tension, Cronin creates an atmosphere that wholly immerses the audience in terror. Rated: 5/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X Pleasingly atmospheric ghost story. Rated: B Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Lorrie F (Includes spoilers) Very atmospheric, well-acted, and generally interesting, with a chilling prologue, despite an awful lot of repetition, fog, and blurry vision. The problem I had with this movie is that the last 3 minutes are an entirely different movie. Gone is any concern about the serial killer, and one character’s entire persona changes. (Although those of us who have watched zillions of horror movies know never to trust the nice guy.) All of a sudden we get demanding spirits and retribution. To me, a movie’s not a real success if only the last 3 minutes count. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review J. G I absolutely loved this occult film, it’s slow but gripping, one of the best mystery film I have seen for a long time with an unexpected ending. I watched it late at night in the darkness and the atmosphere was incredible and it got scary and tense. It shouldn’t be classed as a horror film as horror watchers might be disappointed by this sort of film which is more of a chilling mystical thriller. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/01/25 Full Review Sarah S I was genuinely gripped through out this movie. It was very spooky and atmospheric. I thought the ending was terrific and the final shot was powerful and has stayed with me. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/10/25 Full Review Christine P You don't search a moor without waders. Rubbish. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/07/25 Full Review Lucky D Could have been an absolute belter of a movie, however turned into a pile of crap and really not worth watching. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Ricardo d O que temos de melhor é a fotografia e iluminação. O roteiro não tem um fio condutor então tudo fica perdido do início ao fim. As melhores cenas são as com a personagem Eleanor. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Read all reviews
