Jack-O's Review: “More of a slow-burn indie psychological thriller/drama rather than a fast-paced horror film. Unfolds slowly but worth the wait, I enjoyed the drama and fantastic Halloween atmosphere, though many viewers will find it unbearably boring.” ★★★ @trickhorrortreater
Reviews:
“I really enjoyed this film as it’s just as much a slasher as it is a very human story. I was also happy to see Friday the 13th Part VII star Lar Par Lincoln show up. Autumn Road is most definitely worth your time.” BAndSAboutMovies.com
” ...when the film gets intimate, the moments of genuine emotion are wonderful, but most of the time it feels like the script is too afraid of getting close to the characters and only wants them to exist as caricatures instead. The character of Vincent hides beneath an owl mask at times in this movie, and like him, Autumn Road seems intent on pushing away the viewer by putting on a mask when things seem to be getting too genuine.” Cinedump.com
“Autumn Road is a confused and muddled mess of ideas. It even manages to squeeze in an American History X head stomp scene ... Ideas are not particularly cohesive and while relying on performances to hold it up just can’t manage to be the movie it wants to be. The film feels like a coming-of-age movie but was simply not interesting enough to recommend.” ★★ VanessasNonSpoilers.com
“This is a more story-driven horror so there’s not really any big jump scares, it’s more psychological. But it works in that way and it definitely has this very Autumny style and feeling to it all. Kind of drab and a little eerie. The small, more horror-fueled moments are decent and even the killers mask – a handmade owl face somehow works.” ★★★ Nerdly.co.uk
“Autumn Road works best when it is quiet and contemplative. Many of its biggest surprises come across as unintentionally funny, such as a shocking but also highly telegraphed death early on in the film and a moment when Vincent hits a snag in one of his violent plans. Most of the plot surrounding Vincent and a few other inexplicably violent characters makes little sense...” NightmarishConjurings.com
It’s a good film debut done on the indie scale. But there’s room for growth. The script is weak, resulting in unrealistic dialogue that performs poorly paired with a handful of mostly wooden performances ... Autumn Road still shines though, mostly when Cusick allows himself to become a little unhinged or when his monologues have time to ramp up into the insane.” ★★★ UKFilmReview.co.uk
” ...it’s an attractive film, with some great settings, and some careful sleight of hand which provides some interesting sequences. Unfortunately, all the Halloween aesthetics in the world can’t stand in for a plot or good performances, nor can they replace a script or a judicious edit. This is a film which, although coming in at just over the sanctified ninety minutes, feels far, far longer.” Warped-Perspective.com
