The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw Reviews
The story of The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw is unapologetically slight, and there are a few moments where it seems to sacrifice a cohesive, tightly constructed narrative in favor of cultivating a sense of atmosphere.

If the screenplay, the performances, and the direction of a film are the ingredients of a spell meant to bewitch the audience, The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw could have used double the toil and trouble to make that cauldron really burn and bubble.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 1, 2021
Canadian Folk horror about an outcast woman suspected of witchcraft and her daughter. Set in 1973, but doesn't look like it. Wonderful cast and atmosphere, but real issues with the writing.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 13, 2021
Ripe with tension and bloody practical special effects that should satisfy the genre lover but more than that it mines the very timely idea of isolation.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 29, 2021
As an exercise in world-building, this is pretty evocative and impressive stuff.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 11, 2020
Creepy, shocking, atmospheric, and ultimately rewarding.
| Original Score: 8 | Oct 28, 2020
The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw offers a lot of intriguing prospects and is held up by solid performances from all involved.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 28, 2020
A moody and dour ambience permeates throughout and the film will rightfully go to be known as one of the great folk horror films.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 26, 2020
The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw delivers a tense atmosphere and unique take on a girl's coming-of-age story, but falls short to expand on everything around it.

A fairly interesting script and setting, a haunting atmosphere delivering plenty of shocks and some beautiful direction from Lee
| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 21, 2020
With its intriguing story, The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw has plenty of creepy and gruesome images, along with subtle commentary about feminine power and oppression, that make it an above-average horror film.

The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw is long on mystery and ambiance, short on resolution and closure. It's a question without a satisfying answer, a curse with no cure.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 9, 2020
A quietly beautiful movie to look at and carries an air of threat for the majority of its brisk runtime without ever verging into pure terror.
| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Oct 9, 2020
[An] interesting, and rather florid tale, brightened by a gorgeous harvest palette.

Reminiscent of Robert Eggers' The Witch (if not quite at that level of artistry), this tale of witchy suspicion lays its cards on the table early and offers plenty of dark atmosphere and, eventually, violent magic.
| Original Score: B | Oct 9, 2020
The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw is a good example of a movie that steals from the best while still carving out an identity of its own.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 9, 2020
Even where the story lacks, this witchy tale shows promise for writer/director Thomas Robert Lee. An astonishingly impressive eerily gothic tale that is sure to only be the first of many flicks in this filmmaker's future.
| Original Score: 2.5 | Oct 8, 2020
Owes a debt to Lovecraft. Nice atmospherics. Canadian writer-director Robert Thomas Lee and female lead Jessica Reynolds are ones to watch.
| Original Score: A- | Oct 8, 2020
Atmospheric but deliberately opaque and not particularly frightening...Still, genre fans looking for something different might give it a try.
| Original Score: C | Oct 8, 2020
... appears aimless due to the lack of whys. Good visuals, well-acted, and a few decent moments of horror, but like so many, this curse asks to be avoided.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 4, 2020
