Reviews
ELECTRIC SHADOWS (4 out of 5 stars) ‘Brunt’s best to date. Addiction, familial trauma, folkloric horror, and possible supernatural goings-on weave together in a film both painful and compelling.’
‘The film’s haunting widescreen visuals play into elemental forces battering the young woman, chiefly the sea, to which she is drawn back as an adult. The directors also know how to tease information through revelatory dialogue and when to withhold.’
STARBURST MAGAZINE ‘Brunt’s most emotive film since his debut, Before Dawn. The isolated location and sweeping seascapes used during lockdown add to the film’s haunting atmosphere. Brunt’s go-to composer Thomas Ragsdale provides a provocative score that complements the high drama scenes perfectly’
KNOCKOUT HORROR ‘The artsy, gritty veneer of well-made indie horror is present and accounted for. The movie looks fantastic, and Brunt’s direction keeps the story engaging.’
