Tyler Doupe Dread Central Steven J. Mihaljevich delivers a slow burn and contemplative affair with ‘Violett’. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Ventana Indiscreta Steven Mihaljevich's film builds a story that establishes a thin line between reality and hallucinations that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Full review in Spanish. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 12, 2024 Full Review Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) The disturbing imagery has stayed with me for some time now. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 22, 2023 Full Review Simon Foster Screen-Space A nightmarish modern fairy tale that the Perth filmmaker presents in pitch black shadows, rich primary colours and brilliantly-realised bleakness.

Les N Horrific story well told. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Clare T “Violett” is a psychological, unsettling thriller that masterfully blurs the lines between family tragedy and mental health. Director Steven J Mihaljevich creates tension that creeps up on the audience building a sense of unnerving dread that lingers. The films chilling atmosphere is heightened by Georgia Eyers performance whose portrayal of an unhinged mother unraveling at the seems is terrifying and heartbreaking. With “ Violetts” disturbing visuals and unnerving score Steven delves into themes of generational trauma that is an thought provoking as it’s terrifying. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Rick L If you are expecting a cookie cutter conventional horror film this is not for you. It is bold, SUPER unique, completely unconventional but a brilliantly assembled piece of art. Hints of fairytale, David Lynch with a dreamlike feel and stark colours fill the screen. Any thoughtful cinephile that appreciates auteur driven films will absolutely eat this film up and will stay with you for a very long time. It has one of the most hauntingly sad storylines I have ever seen. The music and production design is striking. The pacing of the film although slow, builds like a fever dream with 3 twists and a denouement that will leave your jaw hanging open. All of this with what appears to be a very low budget. A genius piece of work that deserves way more attention. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Denis R I like horror and watched this because of the reviews. This movie needed a rewrite and maybe 40 minutes trimmed off. It was clear in the first 10 minutes what was happening and the last 10 minutes answers any remaining questions. I would argue that this is not a horror movie despite the last 10. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Iamwhoi M If you are looking for a feel good movie, this is definitely not it. It is gloomy, to say the least. The story is told mostly from the point of view of a very troubled woman, who is not Violett. This woman's grasp of reality is not at all strong; and her struggles can make it feel a bit drawn out. But, that is the theme of the movie.....the struggles of people who don't have good mental health, and the price people around them pay for not only being in their lives, but trying to save their troubled loved one. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review River D great cinematography and thats about it . It tries too hard to be unique and it could have used more intellectual dialog . Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
