The idiosyncratic earnestness of an experienced horrormeister playing with the classics still makes for a substantial midnight snack.

In the parlance of our times: if Larry Fessenden has no more fans, then I am no longer on this Earth.

“Blackout” is nothing new, or even essential, but it mostly works anyway thanks to Fessenden and his cast’s impressive collaboration.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 14, 2024

Larry Fessenden’s film is a work of fascinatingly conflicted, far-reaching curiosity.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 6, 2023

A poignant and emotionally intelligent exploration of control, memory, guilt and loss through the familiar figure of the classical werewolf.

| Aug 2, 2023

Even when the movie is little more than Fessenden riffing on the human side of a werewolf story, "Blackout" has a compelling, truly disarming earnestness for its deeply wounded soul to be recognized under its shaggy dog cover.

Those expecting a more straightforward, conventional werewolf movie won’t find it here. Instead, Fessenden offers a veritable, funny, sometimes sluggish yet poignant slice of life with a violent and bloody horror twist.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 21, 2023
