After a personal tragedy, Miranda explores unconventional self-help methods, only to learn from a spiritual healer that she has an infection of her aura called a 'KILLGRIN', which thrives off her misery. Initially skeptical, Miranda turns to the more traditional method of group therapy, but soon unravels a terrifying truth when people close to her suffer a gruesome fate.

[An] uncertainty of purpose eventually becomes more widespread here, as the monster takes over the narrative and shows more of itself...

Rated: 2/4

Screen Rant

The Killgrin lays the groundwork for an interesting exploration of loss, which, despite strong performances, gets muddled by an unfocused story.

Rated: 5/10

The premise is a neat one and the tight story makes sure there are no lulls. The Killgrin stumbles towards the end leading to some nonsensical moments that take some of the steam out of the movie. Even then, it should not ruin anyone’s enjoyment.

Josh Bell

Crooked Marquee

There's something mildly distasteful about the way that writer-director Joanna Tsanis turns her protagonist's depression and anxiety into a literal deadly monster.

Rated: C

Warped Perspective

Misery becomes a literal monster in The Killgrin – a film which nods to a number of established horror ideas and other projects, but benefits from the ambition of director Joanna Tsanis in terms of pulling those ideas together.

Rated: C

Film Focus Online

The Killgrin is a must-watch for fans of cerebral, dread-infused storytelling. If you’re looking for a horror movie that goes beyond the surface scares and leaves you unsettled long after the final scene, this is one to add to your watchlist.

Rated: 4/5
