Leave your thoughts about The Alchemist Cookbook.
| MLive.comJohn SerbaNurturing an unsettling intensity in the film's final moments, Potrykus' work is difficult but invigorating. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd Jorgenson... generates only sporadic tension within its remote setting, and its ambiguity with regard to key details becomes frustrating. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThis unclassifiable miniature involving a man in a trailer in the woods trying to contact the Dark Lord is as funny and distinctive as it is near-plotless. |
| ColliderChris CabinThough The Alchemist Cookbook could easily be labeled a work of psychological horror, it transcends the familiar trappings of that genre to evoke something more human and empathetic than simply conveying the terrors of the human mind. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Andrew WrightPotrykus's film beats the recent Blair Witch revamp in making the woods a place where a Terrible Thing could be lurking behind every twig, especially-and most impressively-during the daylight. |
| Brooklyn MagazineJustin StewartHickson's largely silent performance is superb (in the kind of complex role not typically given to black actors in modern horror movies), never overselling his creeping madness. |
| The Seattle TimesTom KeoghSo compelling is writer-director Joel Potrykus’ unnerving scenario — with its largely ambiguous tone of horror dramatically offset at times by explicit frights — that a viewer isn’t necessarily bothered by a lack of basic story information about who, what, when, where and why. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoIts methods may be unconventional, but Joel Potrykus never loses grip of the slippery strangeness. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyIt’s difficult to imagine what a script for all of this would even look like. Whatever The Alchemist Cookbook has to express, it expresses through scenes that feel as though someone were dared to do something while a camera rolled, in the near-extinct tradition of the transgressive underground movie. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakI bet another viewing would reveal missed details, but the threat of being wrong and finding myself enduring the slow, quiet madness again scares me. |
