Critic Reviews

Sarah Cronin, Electric Sheep
While history is important to the narrative, the director cleverly subverts the audience's expectations, slowly revealing a much more nuanced and layered film, with a disturbing mystery at its core.

Fernando F. Croce, House Next Door
It brims with evocative images and half-buried horrors.
