	Author	Review
United States	Tomris Laffly Variety	"Though thinly conceived overall with not much philosophy to back its daunting visuals, “Offseason” still offers some genuinely spine-tingling images and sounds that will keep midnight audiences on their toes until the end."	POS
United States	Katie Rife AV Club	"The best way I can think of to describe this movie is that it’s like if Rob Zombie remade 1981’s Dead & Buried in Florida."	NEU
United States	Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle	"Mickey Keating has an exceptional gift for playing with classic tropes (...) Chilling and unsettling, intimate yet monstrously vast in its cosmic horrors"	POS
United States	Steven Scaife Slant	"The film forgets that if you’re not building something new from familiar pieces then you’re just regurgitating old ideas (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Matt Donato SlashFilm	"It's an experience that lulls you in with hospitality and scored choral chants, plunging its stinger once you've become helpless beyond defense."	POS
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Despite a wonderfully eerie atmosphere, this moody examination of guilt and mourning is too generic to scare and too predictable to surprise."	NEG
United States	Katie Rife rogerebert.com	"Where is the line between shoddy filmmaking and a loving pastiche of films that were shoddily made? (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"It isn’t as captivating as Keating’s 'Darling', but I do think it’s a step in the right direction after 'Psychopaths'"	POS
Canada	Cody Hamman JoBlo	"There’s so much of Marie wandering around, this is a movie that works better as something you just click play on while browsing through a streaming service instead of something you go out of your way to watch."	NEU
