As an exploitation pastiche, Rod Blackhurst’s new sicko fairy tale is a knockout. Made entirely on Super 16-millimeter film, it oozes grindhouse sleaze that almost reeks through the screen. Ashley K. Thomas’s special makeup effects are distinctively stomach-churning. There’s not much to it beyond that, and for lots of horror fans, that will be enough.- The New York Times

This is assured horror filmmaking. Heartbreaking too: Anyone who’s held a pet as comfort from pain or despair should have tissues at hand.- The New York Times

It seesaws between creepy and dippy, although it pulls no punches in its indictment of the American elder care system.- The New York Times

A less sentimental, wish-fulfilling approach to Mexican American identity, gay self-discovery and Reagan-era Texas will wait for another day. Until then, fans of “Heartstopper”-style slow-burn romance will eat up this tender film’s subtle charms.- The New York Times
