2024

Ben Chaplin, Allan Corduner, Lucinda Lee Dawson Gray, Beauden McConnell, Ruth Wilson

Drama. Horror Johanna feels her world ending after moving for her ill father's treatment. With her mother consumed with his care as he worsens, lonely Johanna appeals to the universe for a spirit to save her family.

	Media	Author	Review
		Katie Rife IndieWire	"Much of 'Family' plays like a calling card, for its director and for its young star. That’s not a bad thing for a debut feature to be"
		Caryn James The Hollywood Reporter	"The film becomes increasingly tense and emotionally wrenching, even as Finkel ramps up genre touches that come to feel superfluous."
		Matt Donato Collider	"An exuberant and confident first feature that disturbs, allures, and strikes terror."
		Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"While it might be too aloof and enigmatic for its own good, the distinct approach to horror is so profoundly unsettling that it’s an easy recommendation for visceral frights alone. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Mary Beth McAndrews Dread Central	"It’s confronting and honest, heart-shattering and terrifying. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
