The Happy House (2013) |
"
The film, a sleepy, low-budget affair, merely enacts a series of horror movie clichés, as if that were enough. Its bland actors and wit-free script do nothing with the familiar elements but present them."

Lunarcy! (2013) |
"
Mr. Ennis uses cheeky editing to invite viewers to choose their own level of skepticism, and he lets his subjects ramble just long enough to leave you wondering whether they're winking at you, Mr. Ennis is winking at them, or what."
