The PlaylistWarren CantrellJan 14, 2019
Bolstered by a damn fine turn by Dorff, who carries most of the film, there’s more to like than dislike with this one. Read full review

Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghOct 31, 2018
Don’t Go is sufficiently subtle that some viewers will find it dull and lacking in traditionally “scary” moments. But others will appreciate the care with which it walks the line between supernatural and psychological horror. Read full review

ObserverRex ReedOct 28, 2018
Stephen Dorff, a good actor who seems to have temporarily run out of luck, is back in a loopy and desultory “psychological thriller” without a single thrill and the psychology of a paperback called "Psychology for Morons." Read full review
