Adrien Brody remains a compelling presence, but those contemplating a screening of this muddled paranormal thriller are advised to Backtrack immediately.

Backtrack has a classy, downcast aesthetic that feels a bit like an old piece of furniture melted down and turned into celluloid, or a film infused with the fabric of a chesterfield. June 15, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Along with excellent work by cinematographer Stefan Duscio and composer Dale Cornelius, Petroni elicits sharp performances from his estimable cast, especially Adrien Brody. February 26, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Fright fans more interested in thematic depth than visceral thrills may appreciate what writer-director Michael Petroni attempts, but even they'd likely admit there's not much to savor. February 25, 2016 | Full Review…

The film is part psychological thriller, part horror movie, and the horror elements deliver some solid frights. Mr. Brody isn't asked to stretch much, but he does his usual thing adroitly. February 25, 2016 | Full Review…

A movie that tries to make a choo-choo out of "The Sixth Sense" but immediately goes off the rails. February 25, 2016 | Rating: 0.5/4 | Full Review…

Brody does his best, and that initial idea - of a shrink seeing spooks - is fun, even if it's awfully familiar. But the movie really doesn't stand up to further analysis. February 24, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Backtrack plays as a tightly-wound drama working through themes of redemption and forgiveness. While it follows familiar genre beats, the work being done here is thoroughly engaging. April 8, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Adrien Brody puts in a reliably earnest performance, but it's not enough to save an idea that remains in need of fleshing. February 28, 2019 | Full Review…

Schlock it may be, and sticklers will complain about plot holes, but there's no denying the mood of dread conjured up here, nor the strength of the performances. September 27, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Brody fills out his wafer-thin role with more conviction than it truly deserves, and like fellow former Best Actor Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage, is an expert at keeping a straight face in bent circumstances. June 15, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
