Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Ariel Vida’s half-baked release toggles between campy horror and social commentary while failing to deliver a real goosebump. Rated: 2/4 Jun 6, 2024 Full Review Aaron Murray Loud and Clear Reviews Ariel Vida’s Trim Season is a fun stoner horror movie that overcomes its first-act problems to create an ambitious piece of filmmaking. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana Moving Pictures Film Club Foregoing the typical “drugs are bad” narrative, Trim Season instead is an exploration of trauma with notes on gender and familial pressure wrapped in gothic trappings. Rated: 4/5 Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Jenn Adams Strong Female Antagonist Trim Season merges Gen Z culture and folk horror in a story that feels progressive and new. A microcosm of the clash between generational power forms a poignant reminder to listen to each other lest we ensure our own mutual destruction. Rated: B Jun 29, 2024 Full Review Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast Any explanation of the witchery may leave something to desire but there's still an undeniable skill on display from Ariel Vida plus a notable performance from ‘V’ legend Jane Badler that could thrust her into a staple on the horror scene for years to come Rated: 3/4 Jun 19, 2024 Full Review Michelle Swope Bloody Disgusting Ultimately, Trim Season is a suspenseful, uniquely crafted story highlighting pain and sacrifice that should spark some powerful conversation around women and gender. Rated: 4/5 Jun 28, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Aldis H Boy, this is dumb. Some terrifically bad acting, and a "plot" that's nothing but gobbledygook. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Audience Member I found the film to be a good mix of horror and reality. The characters need for $ and consequent shady job opportunity are all too real. Always thought weed farms would be a scary place to work! Little did I anticipate how scary! Well filmed with a great storyline. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Thom G Trim Season fails to build the necessary intrigue to engage viewers with its story and make it, if not captivating, at least credible or interesting. Simply integrating modern-day trendy elements like cannabis trimming with well-intentioned social commentary that remains superficial or overly metaphorical proves insufficient. By the time these flaws become evident, it's too late to rescue the film from being perceived as boring, shallow, unrealistic, and superficial. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Valerii Ege D I watched Trim Season solely for Alex Essoa, but Beth Million also shines. But I cannot say the same thing for the movie, which started as a classic slasher and ended as out of context. Lack of transition is the biggest problem. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Jon P Gave it a crack but couldn't make it past halfway. Awful acting. Confusing story line. Was the segment highlighting the characters pronouns relevant to the story, no. I did enjoy eventually seeing why the old girl wore gloves. 2/10. Utter shite. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review Seth N Atmospheric horror at its best. Some truly disturbing scenes that have stuck with me since watching. And an awesome turn from the film's baddie. Really dug this one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
