Smart and scary horror films about faith, and loneliness are rare, and for the most part, "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" is pretty exciting. Read full review

The PlaylistChristopher SchobertOct 11, 2013
What is perhaps most surprising is that the film’s first hour, the non-horror section, is far more compelling than the second, an extended, nonsensical haunted hotel sequence that never scares, intrigues, or surprises. Read full review

Village VoiceSam WeisbergOct 10, 2013
The scare tactics are rather ho-hum—suffocation nightmares, disappearing necklaces, loud noises—and the ending is incongruously sentimental. You'll be more frightened walking through a graveyard at dusk. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesAnnlee EllingsonOct 10, 2013
Muddled by a setup with a religious bent that's never fully explored and an instance of euthanasia that's only tenuously related to the central plot. Read full review

A moralistic ending is telegraphed from the beginning and routinely fulfilled by the end, rendering the rest of this trite, visually unappealing mess virtually worthless. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisOct 10, 2013
This fiasco from the writer and director Mark Edwin Robinson will persuade you that the title refers not to a place without light (though there’s precious little) but to a story without reason. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanOct 10, 2013
Rare is the film so ineptly made that it barely deserves the dignity of a review. Which, on the one hand, makes this slapdash horror romance somewhat unusual. On the other, however, you’re wasting valuable time just reading about it. Read full review
