Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Intrepid filmmaking duo Powell Robinson and Patrick R. Young pull off quite a feat with their scrappy brother-sister road trip thriller. Rated: 3/4 May 6, 2021 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian 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. Rated: 2/5 Apr 30, 2021 Full Review Andrew Winter Vague Visages For all its islands of promise, Threshold is really just a passable family addiction drama with horror elements that are never fully realized. Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Heather Wixson Daily Dead 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. Rated: 3/5 Feb 22, 2022 Full Review Rob Rector Film Threat Like all memorable road trips, Threshold understands that the joys are found in the journey as much as the destination. Rated: 8/10 May 11, 2021 Full Review Naila Scargill Exquisite Terror An impressive slow burner that develops beautifully through to a spine-chilling climax, with unexpected, shocking results.

Audience Member I liked the two actors. I liked the chemistry between them. But the films does nothing and goes nowhere. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
