Its a shame that the masses wont get to see this on the big screen, but those looking to access a meditative campfire tale will be more than thrilled. Fresh Fiction

Alternately gorgeous and foreboding, Saulnier deftly doles out breadcrumbs for a tense and dark mystery

Hold the Dark doesnt feel as organic as Blue Ruin, but its a worthy addition to Saulniers filmography nonetheless. The Movie Isle

Hold the Dark is the type of film you allow your brain to pluck at before fully deciding how enjoyable it is. The film is gorgeous to look at, but its ..
