Come True Reviews
Unfortunately, Anthony Scott Burns chose to end Come True with a lazy, fatuous twist-for-the-sake-of-a-twist affront to everyone who’d just given him 100 minutes of their time.
| Original Score: D | Jul 15, 2024
Come True is at its best when it lets us partake and discover these dark, startling dreams alongside the characters in a surreal world of unease, freight, and terror.
| Jul 21, 2023
With haunting visuals and striking cinematography, the film stands out for its impressive style.
| Feb 22, 2023
A waking nightmare that blurs the line between dreams and reality before regrettably getting lost in its own descent.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 17, 2022
The vivid imagery successfully creates a tone of horror that's felt on such a profound level, utilizing the craft as a way of striking a powerful sense of unease in nearly every frame.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 5, 2022
Come True feels more like an extended episode of The Twilight Zone than a feature film.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 17, 2022
One of the most fascinating films of recent months. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 10, 2022
There's obviously something more going on - as there should be in any good horror film.
| Oct 19, 2021
This is a slow-burn film that is not afraid to get weird, or to follow a questionable choice through to its very end.
| Sep 8, 2021
Enough of an enthralling mystery, and shows enough flashes of inspiration, to make it worth a watch.
| Jun 13, 2021
A dense and intelligent piece of well-wrought sci-fi horror that takes a few big swings.
| Jun 7, 2021
There's absolutely nothing of value or interest in Come True.
| Jun 6, 2021
This thrifty psychological thriller comes so close to realizing its mindfuck potential that if you squint just right while streaming it, it looks a bit like a cult classic.
| May 3, 2021
One of the first truly great original sci-fi movies of the new decade.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Apr 9, 2021
With its aqua-tinted scenes and dreamlike stylings, Come True has an otherworldly feel, but the story takes place on Earth ... [It's] best enjoyed if people don't mind if the story doesn't really explain what's going until the last third of the film.

It's difficult to envision another 2021 horror film squandering its early promise as thoroughly as Come True.
| Original Score: C- | Mar 30, 2021
Its primary goal is a sustained, pervasive creeping dread that works its way into your bones and gives you prolonged chills.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 26, 2021
With Come True, writer/director Anthony Scott Burns makes a bold case for the dream genre's return.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 25, 2021
Burns' script is just as concerned with the weirdness of Sarah's waking life as it is the literal monsters that populate her dreams, and the filmmaker's ability to balance and juxtapose those two portions of the film only strengthen each section.
| Original Score: C+ | Mar 25, 2021
Using characters' nightmares to put scary images on screen may be an ancient method in horror movies, but wrapping a weird, gloomy sci-fi tale around it provides a few chills in this Canadian film...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 24, 2021
