Reviews

‘Creepy as an ordinary day hell, this is one of the best movies of the year, horror or otherwise. Prepare your body for one of those thrillingly rare, all too real sensations…’
★★★★★
Nick Howells, London Evening Standard

‘A big hand to the Talk To Me directors for navigating the filmic equivalent of that difficult second album. An accomplished and disturbing work, with Sally Hawkins on startling form.’
★★★★
Jamie Graham, Empire Magazine
