| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 3, 2023
As violent as it is beautiful... [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 31, 2023
Writer-director Tony D'Aquino's obvious love for the genre and sense of invention is contagious.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 12, 2022
There's a riveting pace to the narrative as secrets are uncovered, and as one grotesque set-piece follows another.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 6, 2020
It reminded me of the themes of Charlotte Wood's best-selling novel The Natural Way of Things in its disorientating abduction and feminist fight for survival in the back of beyond.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 15, 2020
The Furies hammers the gas out of the gate and never relents. With a strong female led cast and barbaric practical kills, The Furies stands out as an unrelenting force of slasher goodness.

While the lack of backstory or killer character building may turn some off, 'The Furies' has plenty to offer fans of the slasher sub-genre.
| Original Score: 4.1/5 | Jan 10, 2020
The effort to combine sermonising and sadism at worst feels hypocritical, and even at best has a vaguely self-congratulatory air. After all, many earlier horror films have addressed similar themes without being so heavy-handed about it.

The bloodlust is cannily gross and the disintegrating relationships mildly disquieting in director Tony D'Aquino's debut feature.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2019
D'Aquino's film possesses far more ambition than sense, but it also has a few things going for it: style, gore, and a credible and unconventional Final Girl.
| Original Score: C+ | Oct 31, 2019
Delivers with a gory glee

I was pleasantly welcomed by this unique display of horror and it even taunted the idea of the killer within, finding the true malice in people.

The Furies game of cat and mouse is hardly a wildly original tale, but the sheer volume of its participants makes for some seriously entertaining horror.

The Furies is the perfect way to start off the spookiest of months on Shudder. It's a fun watch that also offers up a twisty story that expands on the typical tropes of the genre while also subverting them.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 20, 2019
Due to the strong performances by Dodds and Ngo, The Furies is an entertainingly blood-soaked calling card for director D'Aquino, and will satisfy gore-hounds.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 19, 2019
A tapestry of patriarchal images from classic sources made into a contemporary vision of the gendered extremes in our culture, wrapped up in a weird slasher premise.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 9, 2019
What The Furies lacks in originality it makes up for with a gleeful commitment to gore.
| Original Score: 13/20 | Oct 8, 2019
A gory blast from start to finish.
| Oct 7, 2019
The Furies reminds me, once again, the best video game adaptations aren't based on actual virtual properties.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 5, 2019
Tacks on a ton of ideas that never amount to anything.
