	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"There are pleasing echoes of Lynch and Jodorowsky here, though it is never quite clear if the young writer-director has full control of his film's wayward tone."	NEU
United States	Jessica Kiang Variety	"Almost completely incomprehensible (...) The creature effects are startling (...) 'Murder Me, Monster' is impressive for its atmospherics (...) but the meaning is a muddle."	NEU
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"Fadel builds suspense and fills in the eccentric character details that give the film its distinctive flavour"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"Whether the film adds up to more than a gloopy novelty act is a little more questionable: despite the whispery solemnity of many dialogue scenes, it’s hard to take it seriously in any way (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Phil Hoad The Guardian	"This convention-defying horror has Guillermo del Toro’s vision and David Lynch’s dreamlike logic. But what does it all mean? (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
