Leave your thoughts about Offseason.
| ConsequenceJenn AdamsIt’s worth watching for its disorienting and intoxicating atmosphere, but there’s not much narrative substance beyond that. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakMaybe it doesn’t stimulate your intellect as much as other recent genre fare, but it definitely offers an engrossing setting through which to travel for 80 minutes. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerChilling and unsettling, intimate yet monstrously vast in its cosmic horrors, Offseason is as dangerously welcoming as the island itself. |
| SlashfilmMatt DonatoIt's rough around the edges when heavy special effects are required, yet proficient in shanty-shady tones and detectable darkness that hides secrets from one sequence to the next. It's an experience that lulls you in with hospitality and scored choral chants, plunging its stinger once you've become helpless beyond defense. |
| VarietyTomris LafflyThough thinly conceived overall with not much philosophy to back its daunting visuals, Offseason still offers some genuinely spine-tingling images and sounds that will keep midnight audiences on their toes until the end. |
| Film ThreatHunter LanierDespite the many things it does right, atmosphere and casting, mostly, it doesn’t give you any reason to remember it. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe occasional blood-curdling scream notwithstanding, Offseason is more chilling and gloomy than frightening. |
| RogerEbert.comKatie RifeWith a movie like “Offseason,” you can tell that the filmmaker knows what the usual benchmarks for a “good movie” are—something you can’t say for all B-movie directors—and Keating does achieve them in some aspects of the production. That’s what makes it so confounding when other elements don’t live up to those standards. |
| Slant MagazineSteven ScaifeKeating’s film forgets the cardinal rule of good pastiche: that if you’re not building something new from familiar pieces then you’re just regurgitating old ideas. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisDespite a wonderfully eerie atmosphere, this moody examination of guilt and mourning is too generic to scare and too predictable to surprise. |
