Leave your thoughts about The Seasoning House.
| CraveOnlineFred TopelAn expertly crafted thriller and manages to show a heartfelt side of the issue. |
| Projected FiguresAnton BitelThe Seasoning House may ultimately feel as compromised and tainted as its heroine - but Hyett remains a rising talent to watch, especially if he can find a better script to match his uneasy vision and moody production design. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoWhile lead actress Rosie Day turns in a phenomenal performance, The Seasoning House is more bite than bark, creating an uneven and empty watch. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineIt's cleverly made on a small budget, but is so over-designed and carefully structured that we never believe it. |
| What CultureShaun MunroThough The Seasoning House is far from a great film - both slow and occasionally harbouring ill logic - it is an enticing calling card for its director. |
| The ListRob CarnevaleThis is a deeply unpleasant subject matter and Hyett's handling of it leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. |
| The Robot's VoiceLuke Y. ThompsonIt's atmospheric and a tense journey, arguably not unlike Gravity if you were to replace the vacuum of space with a bunch of angry, accented dudes |
| GuardianXan BrooksHyett earned his reputation as a prosthetics wiz on films like The Descent and The Woman in Black; the human monsters he gives us here might as well be made out of cardboard. |
| Little White LiesMatthew ThriftIf only the dialogue and camera work were as good as the make-up effects. |
| ViewLondonJennifer TateA soulless horror thriller that fails to captivate thanks to a poor script and some terribly unconvincing performances from certain cast members. |
