REVIEWS:
“While it is chock full of horror tropes (creepy kids drawing creepy drawings, horrific flashbacks, self-immolation, etc.), it never quite falls into being boring or cliché. It keeps up the energy and we are invested in the characters enough to want to see where they go with all this.” www.thatshelf.com
“A psychological thriller that revels in its cerebral mind games, Marionette gives a refreshing alternate take to the recent string of horror featuring creepy kids. It’s moody, Gothic in tone and look, and asks weighty questions with no easy answers.” www.bloody-disgusting.com
“Marionette is a success in the way it takes a plot built upon a foundation of cliches and takes it to unexpected places. Unfortunately, it takes too long to get to the parts of the story that are in any way surprising and spends a bit too much time with its more predictable elements.” www.nextbestpicture.com
