Norman Gidney HorrorBuzz Above The Knee is a fascinating, compelling, if myopic thriller and another complex entry into Bøe’s body of work. Rated: 7/10 Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Eric Langberg Everything's Interesting This is an entertaining, nasty little body horror film with some memorable imagery, a great lead performance, and a climax that — without spoilers — delivers on the promise of the premise. And hey, it’s only 76 minutes! Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
