2/5
The vagueness around the supernatural elements is intriguing but Edwards can’t quite kick the whole thing up a notch to make the material really thematically rich, and relies too much on sonically driven jump scares. Go to Full Review

3/5
Father of Flies then is a bleakly grim look at family tragedy and an exploration of the grief it breeds. Go to Full Review
Luke Spafford Starburst Apr 11, 2022
5/5
The film takes nearly all the tropes of horror cinema and at times eschews them, gentle caressing them or flipping them on their head. There are not one, but two ridiculously creepy moments this well-versed writer has never seen on screen before. Go to Full Review
Luke Y. Thompson Films Gone Wild Mar 7, 2022
Like true night terrors, it never lets the audience get a handle on exactly what the threat is, and therefore, how it can possibly be survived. Go to Full Review

4/5
The confusion of incident and memory add to the sense of creepiness and disorientation which Tetlow's performance and the heightened visual style create. Go to Full Review
