3/4
Intrepid filmmaking duo Powell Robinson and Patrick R. Young pull off quite a feat with their scrappy brother-sister road trip thriller. Go to Full Review
Leslie Felperin Guardian 04/30/2021
2/5
The jarring shifts in register recall other offbeat, supernatural road movies... but the direction from collaborators Powell Robinson and Patrick Robert Young is less assured and the performances don't have the same spontaneity. Go to Full Review

3/5
The end result is messy but fascinating, in regards to both the narrative and the film's production process. Go to Full Review
Andrew Winter Vague Visages 03/25/2024
For all its islands of promise, Threshold is really just a passable family addiction drama with horror elements that are never fully realized. Go to Full Review
Heather Wixson Daily Dead 02/22/2022
3/5
Young and Powell demonstrate that you don’t need a huge budget to tell an interesting story, and that sometimes ingenuity and fortitude can go a long way. Go to Full Review

Like all memorable road trips, Threshold understands that the joys are found in the journey as much as the destination. Go to Full Review

07/15/2021 I liked the two actors. I liked the chemistry between them. But the films does nothing and goes nowhere. See more 06/01/2021 After years of no contact, a phone call reconnects Leo (Joey Millin) with his sister Virginia (Madison West). Their estrangement comes from her years of drug abuse and when he finds her, she's seemingly going through an overdose. However, she tells him that she's been clean for eight months thanks to a mysterious group that has revealed themselves to be a cult. Worse, they have tied her emotions and feelings to a dark man that she has never met. She begs Leo to help her find him. She agrees that if her story is not true, she will finally go to rehab. Yet in the midst of this emotionally charged time, Leo starts to realize that Virginia may be finally telling the truth. Threshold was improvised and shot on two iPhones over the course of a 12-day road trip with a crew of just three. It's the second movie by co-directors Powell Robinson, Patrick R. Young and producer Lauren Bates. It's not a traditional horror film, but builds to a dense and dark ending. And hey — it's 78 minutes, which is pretty much the perfect length.
