But the reason it all works so effectively is that Marcantonio trusts his audience. His direction is perhaps the film’s greatest strength, demonstrating a striking sense of tone and mood amounting to a destabilizing effect. Read full review

The imagery and impact of Kindred is impressive, and while it may not stick the landing, the path there is well worth flying. Read full review

Kindred is a demonstration of how a naturalistic horror film can be derivative, in the most flagrant and shameless way, and still work. Read full review

It’s difficult to shake that the film finishes saying what it has to say long before it staggers to the end. Read full review

The most frustrating thing about the British prenatal horror movie Kindred is not that it’s impersonal, but rather that it’s not personal enough. Read full review

In the end, what we’re left with is an exceptionally well-acted motion picture that mostly fails to move. Read full review

Despite its good intentions with the psychological horror style, it becomes too frustrating and slowly collapses.

This movie broke a key rule of therapeutic horror. A gradation of evil that is ultimately defeated. An excellently conceived film ended in complete disaster. A thought occurred to me - why did anyone even make such a film.
