Critic Reviews
-
Philip French, Observer [UK]
Genuinely resonant and scary.
-
Anton Bitel, Little White Lies
This hitman horror pays its debts in fine writing and nuanced performances.
-
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]
Pretty successful on its own terms, this modestly conceived feature has the feel of one of the twist-in-the-tale short stories Roald Dahl used to produce for adults.
-
Leo Robson, Financial Times
Things takes an unexpected swerve into occult territory - a bizarre and tiresome development that leaves you longing for when the film was just derivative and flat.
-
Matt Glasby, Total Film
Though it doesn't quite last the distance, even at a slender 69 minutes there's a spooky stillness to it that make the production shortcomings seem more like stylistic choices.
