Critic's Reviews
"If you like horror slow, deliberate, and built on atmosphere rather than jump scares, this one hits the mark!” – www.katetrinity.co 09.12.26“….a movie with a genuine visual personality, a strong sense of atmosphere, and enough strange ideas to raise questions about what is coming next.”
– www.readatjoes.org 09.16.26"the narrative itself has a gradual buildup. The film does pack an unexpected amount of twists — some even coming before the midway point"
– www.kevinfilmreviews.com 09.14.26"The film opens on a man drinking alone, then shifts into a nightmare so cleanly that you can’t tell whether the kill is real, a dream, or something worse" -- www.vanessasnonspoilers.com 09.08.26"It Hunts succeeds as a moody, atmospheric thriller that turns an ordinary life into a nightmare of suspicion and dread." – www.saexaminer.org 09.12.26"If you like slow-burn indie horror with atmosphere to spare, this is worth checking out." -- Mother of Movies 09.25.26“…a story about grief, along with guilt, depression, and learning to accept consequences…” -- Jackmeats Flix 08.31.26"Overall, It Hunts is a very gripping story that cleverly relies on a character-driven narrative to show an eerie descent into madness.”
-- @bensmovie_reviews 09.10.26"Dripping in atmosphere is psychological, supernatural horror film It Hunts." -- Let's Talk terror 10.27.26"...It Hunts has a washed neo-noir visual palate reminiscent of Heat and To Live And Die In LA, that is just beautiful to look at..." -- Bloody Flicks 09.08.26'It Hunts' "Provides a subtle blend of psychological and supernatural horror, riding on the back of a mystery that should grab most viewers right from the start" -- www.steve-calvert.co.uk 09.12.16"The atmosphere threaded throughout the film is one of the main reasons this film was so good to watch, and I would say it's unpredictable in nature which makes for a terrifying watch." -- Del Gibson 09.01.26Director/Writer Gabriel Black has come up with a fun story with a subtly building sense of suspense as his protagonist slowly unravels being pursued by a force of darkness. -- www.intheirownleague.com 09.03.26“There is plenty to admire in It Hunts, particularly its atmospheric presentation, stronger-than-expected characterization and the intriguing premise at its heart.” – www.mybloodyreviews.com 09.10.26"Lynchian nightmare that follows a depressed nightshift worker who suddenly becomes plagued by visions of the dead. The film’s psychedelic visuals draw the watcher in, but we stay for the twisty storyline where no one can be quite sure what’s real." -- www.thehorrorlounge.com 09.09.26“It Hunts is an indie horror movie that announces itself with style. Neon-soaked lighting. A sizzling synthwave score. Dreamlike imagery. Ghosts, nightmares, dead-eyed women, and enough existential dread to make a graveyard shift at a call center seem downright cheerful”
– www.readatjoes.org 09.16.26"It Hunts creates the kind of intrigue you usually don’t get in supernatural films through its exploration of Casey’s mental state and later abilities. Yes, there are moments that may seem grotesque mainly for shock value, but considering Casey’s trauma, you can justify the graphic content due to the state of his mind" – www.wherever-i-look.com 09.08.26"It Hunts is a moody, atmospheric psychological thriller anchored by a genuinely intriguing premise. Bolstered by haunting, hyper-stylized visuals and a pulse-pounding score, director Gabriel Black crafts a memorable indie nightmare that keeps viewers thoroughly transfixed as Casey’s fragile reality gradually unravels in the dark.” – Dave Hughes - MovieArcher.com 09.10.26"It Hunts is a wild ride, filled with unexpected twists and turns, some sweet and heartfelt moments, and a story that ultimately feels fresh and original. The film also has a strong mystery element that should appeal to viewers who enjoy horror movies that keep them guessing. It does a great job of creating an unsettling sense of uncertainty, leaving you wondering what is really happening as the story unfolds."
– www.nicksflixs.wordpress.com 09.08.26"Overall, this was a solid enough psychological genre effort. Among the better elements of this one is the incredibly likable and generally intriguing setup that manages to accomplish the necessary grounding of the story while also providing an adequate build-up to the resulting supernatural horror." -- www.donshorrorworld.blogspot.com 09.04.26'It Hunts' is a cerebral supernatural mystery thriller with horror and drama elements. It is first and foremost, a slow-burn mystery that explores themes of mental health, stagnation vs mortality and escapism. The film is layered and complex, and demands attention. Every detail revelated plays heavily into the plot. Elements such as the Xirtamine, the bottle of Red Devil Rum, the visions and recurring nightmares are symbolic and explain what's happening in the story long before the cards are turned. If you're looking for an intriguing supernatural mystery of the slow-burn variety, this might just be for you. – Gabriel Black. Writer/Director of ‘It Hunts’.
