Reviews

  • Cinerama

    ★★★★

    “A bloody and hallucinogenic portrait of a family falling apart, the desperation of care, and one man’s descent into darkness, Kahuam’s The Remedy is chilling, disturbing, and utterly enthralling."

  • The People's Movies

    ★★★★

    "Alex Kahuam’s caregiver creep fest, The Remedy, taps the veins of fractured family loyalty and mental disorders to create a suffocating Gothic psychodrama."

  • The Dark Side Magazine

    ★★★★

    "As proceedings get progressively bloodier, director Alex Kahuam does create a certain atmosphere of dread and fear even if much of it is a touch heavy handed and unsubtle, with an over reliance on tricksy spinning camerawork with lots of odd angles. It is grisly, gory and somewhat ridiculous by the end."

  • Whitlock & Pope

    ★★★

    "The Remedy is engrossing, unpleasant and unnerving. Recommended!"

  • The Hollywood News

    ★★★

    "Kahuam exchanges his experimental visuals for a more traditional method of storytelling and as such The Remedy has the potential to be his widest seen movie to date."

  • Horror Fuel

    "The newest entry into the subgenre is director/editor Alex Kahuam. The Remedy offers a dread-filled, carnage-heavy ride. Fright-fare fanatics will want to seek this one out as it continues on the film festival circuit.”

  • Heaven Of Horror

    “The Remedy is not your average monster of exorcism horror movie. It’s very much its own creature based on much more relatable circumstances.”
