Movie Reviews

The Playlist - 9/10 by Jessica KiangContaining not one single jump scare, but building a disquieting atmosphere of dread that leads us to make some brilliantly gruesome inferences, it’s a classy take on the often trashy pregnancy horror category, with a subtle social critique underlying its neo-gothic texture.
The Film Stage - 8/10 by Jared MobarakAtmosphere and mood are the film’s strong suit, both growing thickly heavy as time elapses and strange occurrences commence.
SciFiNow - 8/10 by Jonathan HatfullPart Gothic horror, part body horror and part social commentary, Shelley is an atmospheric and thoughtful chiller with real power.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Noel MurrayAfter a strong start, Shelley becomes frustratingly vague in the middle, before rebounding with a finale that makes the implicit menace more explicit.
We Got This Covered - 7/10 by Matt DonatoThe difference between Shelley's first and second halves is stark in comparison, but thankfully it only gets better as the seconds pass.
The Hollywood News - 6/10 by Kat HughesShelley in a intriguing and atmosphere tale grounded with naturalistic sounds and powerful performances.
El antepenúltimo mohicano - 6/10 by José MartínA risky and uncomfortable film, not suitable for sensitive people with the unusual virtue of not succumbing to the demands of a more commercial cinema. [Full review in Spanish]
Chicago Cinema Circuit - 6/10 by Daniel NavaThis notable debut from director Ali Abbasi will likely illicit comparisons to Rosemary's Baby, but it's the early films of David Cronenberg that most directly inform Shelley.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Neil GenzlingerMaybe expecting a horror film to have a point is expecting too much. In any case, the two actresses give committed performances on the way to a veiled ending.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Luke Y. ThompsonDirector Ali Abbasi excels at atmosphere, understanding that any beautiful landscape can be made terrifying with the right sound design and that a cut to a silent interior can be as jarring as any jump scare. His script, unfortunately, is not as interesting.
