| The Critical Movie CriticsFrank OchiengWho knew that a well-made, small-scale horror fable could be as cautionary to the human condition as mischievous whispers are to the dark? |
| Film InquiryJacqui BlueThe Atoning is unoriginal and underwhelming at every turn. Even the climatic moments are anti-climatic. |
| It's Just MoviesRon WilkinsonA commendable try at portraying different simultaneous worlds in one film. But, in the end, too ambitious. |
| User ReviewPilar GThe Atoning is a great supernatural thriller, with solid performances and a fantastic twist at the end. Revolving around a small family with a dark secret, the parents try to shield their young son from the this dark truth. Supernatural forces close in and expose the truth and the young family must come to grips with the evil they have unleashed. I enjoyed the storyline, performances and how beautifully it was shot. A very well done haunting film, similar to The Others, & Skeleton Key. |

| User ReviewCissus FOk, not a bad go at the kinda slow burn character driven indie horror stuff. Looks cool. Layered performances. Worth it. |
| User ReviewMarc CBlatant rip off of the others but is more than watchable on a rainy sunday afternoon when nothing else to do. |
| User ReviewLeonnie CA bit slow in places and a bit obvious what was going to be the turn out, but it kept me watching |
| User ReviewJulie Hunderwhelming in every sense of the word. some creepy moments, but all in all predictable and anticlimactic. |
| User ReviewJohn PWas not worth watching! Don't waste your time!! Long Drawn out!!!!?? |
