Offseason

"(Offseason) lacks depth, but offers effective scares..."

"Offseason too often treads familiar territory and there’s not really enough plot here to merit a full-length feature, but Keating’s strong visual style and Donahue’s endearing presence make it a film worth checking out."

"Worth the plunge..."

"(The film is) content with taking direction from what’s come before and not stepping out of line."

"While (Keating) excels at flashy camera tricks and isolated moments of terror, this film—like all of his others—never quite takes off."

"I can't tell if the filmmaking throws Keating's script under the bus or if it saves the movie from being completely forgettable."

"Keating conjures the spirits of Lucio Fulci, John Carpenter and H.P. Lovecraft..."

"The film forgets that if you’re not building something new from familiar pieces then you’re just regurgitating old ideas."

"Despite a wonderfully eerie atmosphere, this moody examination of guilt and mourning is too generic to scare and too predictable to surprise."

"I've seen everything that inspired the DNA of this horror film. It's just doing it with less, and not very impressively."
