2.5/4
It’s still an undeniably strong debut, maybe not the best in show for the genre this year, but promising enough that its filmmaker could one day claim that title. Go to Full Review

3/5
Dot-Marie Jones is captivating in Breeder, a twisted tale of eugenics that finds its strength in dark humor and creeping dread, without relying on gore or jump scares. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 7 hrs ago
Breeder has a few unanswered questions, but this compelling horror movie (about a man trapped at a human breeding farm) is filled with suspense and some sly comedy. Dot-Marie Jones gives a memorable performance as the movie's chief villain. Go to Full Review

Despite a few stand out sequences and a mysterious turn by The Boys' Phillips, the movie overstays its welcome. Fans of cringe, manner-based horror will likely find this the most successful Go to Full Review

Jonathan Gray 3 hrs ago It's definitely worth watching. it's intense but that ending will be hit or miss to some people..... See more Eric H @EVHmovieman 3 hrs ago Breeder is a suspenseful film that moves along at a decent pace. It's a psychological thriller and Dot-Marie Jones gives a powerful performance. If you can look past a couple head scratchers in the plot, it's worth watching. See more Brian C @Bczahor 4 hrs ago Freaky movie! See more 1701- G @CastleJSkull 4 hrs ago Welp. Russell (Breeder) and Bear (Obsession) are both up for MOST VILE lead male protaginist in a film in my book this year. Added a star because Dot-Marie Jones was incredible and BEST BUSH award goes to Daniel Doheny. Really great tension in this one. See more Evan W @RT32661939 8 hrs ago I love a director who is willing to take a risk on the ending even though it’s not what the audience may have wanted. In doing so, we are left thinking about the concept of what people are willing to overlook or do to get what they want. The film explores the good guy facade, gender breaking stereotypes, vulnerability, and themes of validation, all while taking us on a bizarre and wild ride leaving us laughing and discussing what the actual hell in the best way possible. See more Ryan M @ryanm866 10 hrs ago Saw this at a preview a couple days ago. A great, disturbing thinker of a film. Love the subtleties in the characters, who's bad, who's good, who's good but being bad to get out of a bad situation? Looks amazing and Dot Marie Jones is incredible, she kills it in this movie.
