Lovely, Dark, and Deep Reviews
Highlighting both the beauty and terror within the same still landscape is nothing short of genius, and Poças’ shots provide a lot of the tension between Campbell’s own performance.
Georgina Campbell is well cast in the lead role... she achieves a balance between vulnerability and strength that means you’re rooting for her to survive, but she’s not an invincible badass.
Lovely, Dark, and Deep still manages to create something fresh, tactfully keeping its reliance on recognizable, cult-adjacent themes that give a heftier weight to its chills to a reasonable minimum.
“‘Lovely, Dark, and Deep’ teases a bright filmmaking future for Sutherland while spotlighting one of the horror genre’s most promising stars.”
There is nothing kind about writer-director Teresa Sutherland’s haunting suspense yarn Lovely, Dark, and Deep.
Writer/director Teresa Sutherland deploys some nifty visuals that play with darkness and the outdoor setting effectively enough.
Progressively creepier and more disjointed, the gorgeous visuals and excellent sound direction add plausibility to Lennon’s fever dream.
Teresa Sutherland steps into the directing chair with an excellent turn from Georgina Campbell. For those scared of the woods, Lovely, Dark, and Deep shows just how frightening this world can feel.
Sutherland over explains a bit towards the end, but for most of the film she effectively evokes the disorientation of getting lost in the forest, not just at night as is often the case in horror films, but also on a blisteringly hot day.
It’s plenty apparent Sutherland has some good instincts.
Lovely, Dark, and Deep is not a slasher film. It is not for mere entertainment. It is an emotional film in a dark, shadow world about grief, regret, and sacrifice.
Sutherland’s blood-chiller repurposes not only Muir’s words but the woods themselves. By its final third, this dark story will have sunk its gnarled roots deep into your psyche and settled into your nightmares.
There's plenty of scary atmosphere in "Lovely, Dark, and Deep," but can a film get by on atmosphere alone?
Fans of horror that requires patience and empathy will undoubtedly enjoy the sombre mysteries of Lovely, Dark, and Deep — a film well worth getting lost in.
One of the more complex and haunting supernatural thrillers of the year...
It’s an admirable technical achievement, but Sutherland’s work is too sparse and unnecessarily stretched out for its own good.
Lovely, Dark, and Deep knows how to thrust the audience into unshackled insanity but forgets to throw a life-saving buoy to its witnesses, resulting in the viewer helplessly drowning in twisty and meaningless drivel.
Lovely, Dark, and Deep is an extraordinary debut. It is magnificent in both its haunting visuals and sophisticated script.
“Lovely, Dark, and Deep” has a tight grip, cleverly reframing the woods as a new space in which no one can hear you scream.
A creepy chiller that finds dark mysteries in the woods.
