Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org A chilling mystery about an isolated community who capitalism left behind, The Soul Eater is a thrilling, thoughtful addition to the serial killer film tradition. Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting While the procedural elements may feel more rote, at least in an era inundated by crime thrillers, Maury and Bustillo pull from their horror toolkit and plunge into dark subject matter with aplomb. Rated: 3/5 Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Joseph Robinson Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) The Soul Eater is an audacious effort - a mix of Cocaine Bear, Longlegs, and The Menendez Brothers - that may be too bold for its own good. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Enrique Abenia Cinemanía (Spain) Its distinctive essence flows in the articulation and dynamics of the final section, a true passage of terror due to the resonances generated by its sordid and disturbing background. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Dec 9, 2024 Full Review Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury's latest movie combines a decent police procedural and folklore horror. Rated: 3/5 Oct 26, 2024 Full Review Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana What a Scream Podcast ...with images within the last sequence that will burn itself into audiences’ brains, Bustillo and Maury have once again retained the power to ruin people’s days. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Aldis H Slow, derivative, incongruous, almost comical in its seriousness, yet not bad for all that. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review Derp D The overall tone and plot were compelling and effective but some of the dialogue and staging of the action were so jarringly clumsy that it’s hard not to think the directors were out of their league or out of time. A shame because there was a cracking thrilller with horror symbolism in here. Inside might well have been a fluke. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Wolfgang G Als es in einem kleinen Bergdorf zu gewaltsamen und grausamen Todesfällen kommt, taucht eine alte Legende über eine bösartige Kreatur wieder auf. Der Film ist zweifellos einer der eindringlichsten, verblüffendsten und albtraumhaften Folklore/Mystery-Filme, der jemals auf Art eines Psycho-Thrillers gedreht wurden. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Gerald H Clearly inspired by the wonderful Austrian series PAGAN PEAK, this movie manages to get you hooked for almost the whole running time because of its staggering reality … and then - as we’re used to just so often - goes off the rails, overdoing it completely, suddenly reality gives in to spectacle and fantasy. Please directors: do one thing or the other! Do „Silence of the Lambs“ or do „Pan‘s Labyrinth“. Bit do not mix it incoherently. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review B P Julien Maury & Alexandre Bustillo’s Investigative Thriller is Suitably Dark Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
