	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"Spooky, stylish, spellbinding (...) It looks and feels far more substantial than most indie debuts, confidently bending genre rules with its minimalist dialogue and hallucinatory plot"	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"[It] is likely to flummox or even exasperate mainstream genre fans with its sparse plotting, slow pace, and near-impenetrable mysteries. But its mix of the poetical, repugnant, and phantasmagorical will weave a singular spell for [the] adventuresome"	NEU
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"For those who can embrace 'Hagazussa' more as an experience than as a spook show, this film is utterly absorbing and hard to shake."	POS
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"A frustrating genre pic that’s just too dreary to be scary (...) 'Hagazussa' is largely held together by an intense performance from Cwen (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
Canada	Michele "Izzy" Galgana Screen Anarchy	"It's a hard watch, but for those who seek out films that hurt, you won't be disappointed. The film is photographed beautifully"	POS
