“A visually striking meditation on obligation and complicity.”
-
“Its sad, furtive characters still linger in the mind well after the blood they've spilt has dried.”
-
“It's an entire meditative, brooding feature that centers on the question of how far you would go in the name of family.”
-
“Jonathan Cuartas's film vividly diagnose a sickness of insularity endemic to middle-class America.”
-
“A striking new vision of vampirism that in arterial spurts recalls Tomas Alfredson's Let the Right One In and Jim Mickle's We Are What We Are.”
-
“A quietly absorbing, small-scale enterprise with some moments of genuine tension.”
-
“Cuartas' film looks to take a restrained and realistic approach with vampire mythos anchored by great performances as lifeblood is pumped back into one of horror’s oldest concepts.”
-
“Fugit steps up to the plate, delivering an indelible portrait of familial devotion taken to its logical extreme.”
-
“A shockingly relevant tale of loneliness, illness, and dependency.”
-
“A gem of a horror film.”
-
“A beautiful cinematic meditation on sacrifice.”
-
“Oxygen may feel as if it’s at a minimum in the world that Cuartas has created, but that itself feels like a breath of fresh air...”
-
“A splendid drama that puts a twist on the vampire genre.”
-
“An unflinching look at the lengths people will go to for family ties, but it’s also a story about loneliness, a story which you know is going to collapse in on itself at some point.”
