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 (Substack) A nightmarish modern fairy tale that the Perth filmmaker presents in pitch black shadows, rich primary colours and brilliantly-realised bleakness. Rated: 4/5 Nov 22, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Brett E One of those rare times you feel compelled to log in to RT and write a review, in the hope that it will save someone else the wasted time. I'm not sure if it's a case of being one of those movies that a simpleton can watch and easily digest, and feel like they saw something 'artsy'. Slop for normies. I saw a YT video of 'horror gems on tubi' that promised a 'gut punch ending to a slow burn'. This whole movie simply sucks. Zero horror, zero atmosphere, zero unsettling moments. It's written at the level of a middle school kids 'horror movie script' project. Predictable doesn't even begin to describe the ending. I've seen hoards of really bad horror movies, this one is definitely up there. By far the worst that I've ever seen rated so high. I saw the first review was from someone who says they were in the movie, maybe the whole cast and crew just bombed the reviews. Because this movie was a joke. I could legitimately make a better horror movie right now with my phone. In fact, if I had recorded myself suffering through this, it would have been exponentially more unsettling and scary. To imagine money was spent making this, when it could have been burned in a fire or throw off a bridge in a large bag. Something at least a BIT more useful. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/25 Full Review Suzi A I may be biased as I was in the movie as ‘the lady down the street’ however when I read the script Steven J Mihaljevich sent me I knew I was a part of a masterpiece from this man’s mind. I was privileged to have been a part of this movie. The story may seem slow at first but Steven is just stoking the fires and as the story evolves you are hooked. It is a well written story with a head punching finale, a bit like being smacked in the head. This movie is anything but predictable with a fantastic cast and crew giving their all. The ‘horror’ genre may put some off, but it is not the norm… suspenseful, sad, manic, peeking into the mind of a broken woman. Watch and see for yourself. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/25 Full Review Hamed B Steven Mihaljevich is a genius! The way he weaves the story together is pure magic. The cast is perfection! They bring so much depth and emotion to their characters, you'll be feeling all the feels. What I love most about Violett is how it balances the light and dark moments. It's real, it's raw, and it's relatable. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll be left thinking about the characters long after the credits roll. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Matty B It’s a rare feat to manage such a quality film on a low budget. Very well acted. Looks great. Compelling slow-burn psychological horror that’s worth the watch. Found myself thinking about it for days afterwards. Also, love the music. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Isaiah s Devastating. Art house horror at it best Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Marina M Macabre and deeply eerie exploration of the human psyche. It evokes the kind of nightmares you’d rather forget. Though the pacing was a bit slow at the start, every scene unfolds at exactly the right moment, pulling you deeper into her mind. The storytelling, performance and cinematography make you feel her emotions very vividly. This is one of those films that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll. It carries a haunting quality that reminds me of the psychological tension crafted in films such as Shutter Island. A masterclass in atmosphere and emotion, Violett is a must watch for those who crave a slow burn film with profound depth! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
