Leave your thoughts about The Limehouse Golem.
| London Evening StandardDavid SextonThe Limehouse Golem is a fast-moving horror-cum-panto, nicely staged, all fog and darkness, with the melodrama and off-colour humour of the music-hall itself. |
| StarburstJack BottomleyThe Limehouse Golem is an odd little Gothic Victorian murder mystery and a stirring cocktail of period chills, modern anxieties and gruesome cruelty. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfPerhaps Nighy's enough to recommend the feature, but as period pulp with iffy twists and turns, "The Limehouse Golem" doesn't disturb, limping to a conclusion. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisMarrying fact and fiction, Jane Goldman’s seamy screenplay is wildly overstuffed; but the director, Juan Carlos Medina, gives the music hall scenes a rowdy authenticity. |
| Observer (UK)Mark KermodeA slippery subject, but these players do it proud. |
| Time OutTrevor JohnstonNighy gives another suave masterclass, and the whole thing positively burns with passionate advocacy for the artists, free-thinkers and social outsiders who’ve been the making of modern London. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabThe Limehouse Golem is wildly over the top. That's precisely what it is meant to be - and what gives the drama such a kick. |
| SciFiNowJonathan HatfullWhether you guess the identity of the Golem or not, this is a richly rewarding riff on penny dreadful horrors with a real wit and bite to it, and it's a wonderfully chilling treat. |
| ColliderAdam ChitwoodA firecracker of a script that zips from scene to scene with cheeky dialogue and a sense of urgency, with a strong feminist undercurrent permeating throughout. |
| Total FilmJosh WinningWeird, twisted and deliciously unique, Medina’s horror taps a dynamic vein in feminism and Giallo-esque gore. |
