REVIEWS:
“It’s a character study that asks the viewer to decide who the real protagonist is (which is an interesting choice) but it makes for a surprisingly chaotic ending that feels like it’s looking for a purpose as desperately as the character wrapped up in this whole mess. Make no mistake though, Coming Home in the Dark is unbearably tense, brutally nerve-racking, and worth every flutter of your fight or flight response.” www.nofspodcast.com
“…coming Home in the Dark feels like a genre exercise with some impressive bursts of filmmaking and performance that bode well for whatever Ashcroft does next, but it’s an all-night joy ride from Hell that doesn’t end up at an interesting destination” www.rogerebert.com
“Unrelenting and grim, from an early moment that echoes The Hitcher until its final scene, this is a tense thriller with its roots in real-world horrors. It’s not a film for the easily upset or for those looking for some light entertainment. Even if it does lose some steam in the final act, Coming Home in the Dark is a hard brutal ride, that should be approached with respect..” www.voicesfromthebalcony.com
