User Reviews
VoodooQueen – 7/10
“I appreciated how Bonello weaves the historical context of Haiti's plantation slavery with a modern-day story. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the acting is solid, but the pace can lag a bit. Still, it's a unique take on the zombie myth.”
CreepyCarl – 5/10
“Honestly, I was expecting more scares. The concept is fascinating, but the execution felt too cerebral and slow for my taste. The final act had some moments, but overall it didn't quite land for me.”
GhoulGirl – 6/10
“I loved the cultural depth and the eerie, almost dreamlike quality. The acting is great, especially from the young cast. However, the two timelines felt disjointed at times, and I wished the horror elements were more pronounced.”
ScreamQueen – 4/10
“This movie promised a fascinating premise but delivered a confusing narrative. The Haitian mythology is interesting, but the story drags, and the horror is too subtle. I found myself checking my watch multiple times. Not my cup of tea.”
