| Jam! MoviesJim SlotekA particularly egregious offender in a shaky-camera era that is the cinematic equivalent of a multi-year plague of locusts. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellThe visuals in Randall Cole's paranoia chiller 388 Arletta Avenue evoke Michael Haneke's Caché and Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window in the way they make domesticity seem terrifying. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonThere's little new: the intimidation techniques (pet abduction, home invasion) feel clichéd and the film trundles towards an unenlightening conclusion. |
| Little White LiesMartyn ConterioCole's film serves as a reminder to go back and watch the superior works it lifts from. |
| User ReviewJane SStrangely compelling, and sinister & creepy...though now I'm singing "Da Doo Ron Ron" non-stop. That song will never be the same again. |
| User ReviewJohn MSuspenseful and paranoia ridden film. I enjoyed it. Nick Stahl played the part well. |
| User ReviewLyndsay MI really enjoyed it! It was creepy and rather un-settling, and I liked the fact it didn't show too much or give you all the answers. |
| User ReviewAl MA stylish and well-made found footage serial killer film, 388 Arletta Avenue mixes Michael Haneke's masterful film Cache together with the older found footage stalker film Alone With Her. Despite being well made, 388 Arletta Avenue never achieves the heights of either film. Engaging throughout, it never manages to be creepy and just ultimately fizzles out. |
| User ReviewRiff JConsidering its mostly poor reviews I found the film to be quite entertaining. Being set in Toronto is a plus! |
