Leave your thoughts about Bethany.
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayJames Cullen Bressack’s Bethany is polished, well-acted and filled with memorably disgusting images, but its portrait of a frazzled adult survivor of child abuse is ultimately formulaic and a little sleazy. |
| StarburstJames EvansThe real problem comes from struggling to figure out who would actually enjoy this. |
| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. LeeperIn general the film is well executed, but just lacks the creativity it needed from Bressack the writer to set itself apart from so many similar nightmare fests. |
| StarburstJamie EvansThe real problem comes from struggling to figure out who would actually enjoy this. |
| SF CrowsnestFrank OchiengIt is too bad that there was not more macabre meat on the blistering bone surrounding the household hysterics of a wounded woman on the edge of dismissive delusional destruction. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesBethany has some interesting ideas that get buried in a far too familiar jump scare thriller. There's potential here, but it doesn't fully get explored. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeAs all it really has going for it is superficial gloss, looking beneath the surface is that last thing it should be inviting viewers to do. |
| User ReviewAngie VBethany was a fantastic movie had me on the edge of my seat the whole move. Fantastic writing by James CullenBressack and great acting by everyone. This is a definite must go see film so if u have not see it go and rent it now. |
| User ReviewAdelaide RAn eye opening, true horror movie. No sudden gore factor with fake blood and bad effects, like most other 'today's" horror has. This is on edge if seat, suspense. Well written, great acting, and not a lazy ending. You find yourself feeling for the characters |
| User ReviewStauros KWell-acted, very well-directed and generally creating an uneasy feeling. It's a shame the story lacks originality. It's just another ghost story like those we have seen a million times over, with no twists to set it apart. |
