Film Ireland Magazine

It is a valiant effort to visually manifest a link between two topics concerning control over the female body that have had an enormously traumatic effect on Irish women.

Eye for Film

It's...not a great film, but it's more nuanced than it has been given credit for.

Rated: 2/5

Ghastly Grinning

Much of The Perished feels like an Irish Clive Barker tale of torment and hell, skinless entities and all, but it's bogged down too much with mundane dialogue and a head-scratching ending that will leave viewers unsatisfied.

Cultured Vultures

The Perished succeeds in crafting scares that are the foundation of its protagonist's plight, but it's everything in between where it largely falters

Rated: 5/10

Flickering Myth

A sensation of deflation persists even during the film's most "climatic" moments, torpedoing somber moods while negating forward momentum.

Rated: 1.5/5

Film Threat

While the acting is generally effective all around, interactions can sometimes border on the histrionic.

Brad P

Director Paddy Murphy ensures that The Perished stands out from the crowd by allowing the plot to gradually unfold at its own pace while also working to create a lingering sense of unease. Regardless of how you feel about its subject matter, this is still one supernatural horror story which fans of the genre should seek out immediately.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
