Amulet - Avis

It’s an evocative, confident debut, recalling the metaphorical horror of Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook or Babak Anvari’s Under The Shadow...

...a gothic horror-thriller with a lot on its mind about gender and the superficial norms that surround it.

...does a good job of alchemising drear into fear.

...the movie casts a grim sort of spell; a brooding, stifled dread that creeps in quietly from the margins, and lingers long after the last triumphant frame.

...a fascinating, nightmarish debut from Garai.

...further proof that the future of cutting-edge horror is female...

...a haunting feminist revenge horror that upturns genre tropes and flouts convention.

...a home run in ‘evolved horror’ terms, where the scariest thing is (gulp!) having your liberal sensibilities tested. Terrific stuff.
