"Caveat" exists in a liminal space between genres, which is fitting for a film about the skeletons that might hide inside the walls of an old house.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 16, 2021

Things get a bit wonky along the final stretch, and the Irishman can't quite stick the landing. But there's plenty here to admire and it will be exciting to see where he goes next.

| Original Score: B | Jun 5, 2021

"Caveat" is like a gothic horror tone poem, with pungent notes of decay.

| Jun 5, 2021

Brewing a dizzying atmosphere, Mc Carthy creates a timeless horror film.

| Jun 5, 2021

"Caveat" is unsettling from ominous start to its twist-filled finish.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 3, 2021

An impressive and often terrifying film.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 3, 2021

There's enough tingly, tightly-budgeted atmosphere and witty genre gumption... to make one wonder what Mc Carthy could do on a looser, more expensive leash.

Caveat is a contemporary film drenched with a deep, dark gothic sensibility that makes it both very old and very new at the same time; a remarkably accomplished film that will make getting to sleep at night just that little bit harder.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 2, 2021

McCarthy plays a fancy cinematic game of hide the lady, swishing the narrative cards around adeptly and finding fresh ways to imbue the material with an incrementally increasing sense of unease.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 1, 2021

Caveat is a strange little tale full of claustrophobic dread and psychological mystery. It goes to some peculiar places narratively, making for a welcome distraction from the familiar.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 11, 2021

The uncannily claustrophobic design of the setting matches the tightness of the irrationally unfolding narrative in this slice of ghostly surrealism, so beautifully styled that you can practically smell the mildew-stained walls.
