Liam Trump Film Threat It's a shame that the writing falls short since there was some real promise to what this film could be. It's not horrendously bad by any means, but there's a lot of room for improvement. Rated: 4/10 Mar 6, 2021 Full Review Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound Director Arturo Lizardi (great name!) produces something here which is full of imagination, but ends up, for the most part, like Frankenstein's pieced together monster. Rated: 2/5 Dec 21, 2020 Full Review Fico Cangiano CineXpress An impressive all-around production can't overcome the muddled story its trying to tell. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/5 Dec 7, 2020 Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files Often frustrating as this is the kind of interesting, fleshed out world worth getting invested in if it were more inviting. Rated: 6/10 Dec 2, 2020 Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT More than just fantasy, the movie also takes on aspects of a mystery and thriller that are not normally seen in the genre. It does not always work, but its worth a watch. Nov 29, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Gianmarco R This is not a real review, it should be taken more as a collection of impressions on the film. This film doesn't have an ending, damn it, that is, there actually is an ending but it's not absolutely satisfactory and in my opinion this film deserved something better because at least the second part, even if boring, is cute and full of mystery. In my opinion the film is clearly divided into two parts, the first part is very boring and without rhyme or reason, in the second part however the film at least makes sense while remaining very boring and very slow but at least it captivates the viewer to the extent of the rubbish that it is the end. So the beginning is boring, the development is boring but at least it's interesting and the ending is boring and also bad. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow ,boring , rubbish story . Grade B Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This film has all the elements of being great, but I tired of its two-note presentation. It could really benefit being run through the hands of a skilled editor, who knows how to ignite the rhythms of scenes and story elements. If this were based on a book, I would really be interested in reading it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member It was dense but LOVED the atmosphere of it all. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Great cinematography and a new take on the fantasy genre. Pleasantly surprised. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting mix of genres. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
