The Dreadful serves up a Game of Thrones reunion between stars Sophie Turner and Kit Harington, which is about the only thing this film has to offer, considering it more than lives up to the title Go to Full Review John Townsend Starburst 20h
2/5
It’s a little superficial, and the film withers away to a dull and unsatisfactory ending. Go to Full Review Nicolás Delgadillo Knotfest 20h
Offers moments of haunting beauty and thematic bite to boot. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 1d
An atmospheric, but tedious, dull and unscary gothic horror film. Go to Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT 1d
As The Dreadful progresses, it is clear there is a demon in the cove, but in a true folkloric twist, it is an evil that resides in all of us. Things get a little muddled during the climax, but Kermani does get her point across. Go to Full Review George and Josh Bate ScreenAnarchy 1d
3/5
Come for Gothic horror and the Game of Thrones reunion, stay for the Marcia Gay Harden show and an ample dose of psychological thrills. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
