WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Works its way under the skin, raising neck hairs while teasing us to pry open its psychological puzzle box.LA WEEKLY

One of this year’s touchstones… Demonstrating once again that ingenuity and invention are more important than millions of dollars in budget, Weiler most effectively works within the confines of the dark house. As more and more unsettling things start to happen, it’s almost as though the house were growing into a full-fledged, recently awakened character that is not sure what it wants to do when it sees that it’s under attack… Head Trauma creeped me out. - TWITCHFILM.NET

Elicits effective creeps. A well executed haunted house exercise that treads the psychological vs. supernatural line. - AIN’T IT COOL NEWS
