-
Travis Stevens is psychologically astute, until it gives itself over to turning subtext into extremely legible text.

Its silliness often undermines its exploration of themes and clever gender-swapping. Moreover, it lacks a clear identity; there are two warring movies at play. Still, Crampton fully unleashed will be more than enough to please the midnight crowd.
March 22, 2021 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review… -
Stevens mostly compensates for weaknesses in the dialogue by shifting among the film's wildly divergent tones, but this is Crampton's movie through and through.

In the end, Jakob's Wife doesn't deliver on the promise of the premise.
March 20, 2021 | Full Review… -
A thin, half-hearted reworking of the vampire mythos that can't quite decide if it's spoofy or serious, and doesn't have the smarts to be both.

Jakob's Wife is a new installment into great vampire horror movies, a breakthrough film for the directing of Travis Stevens, and a spectacular highlight performance for Barbara Crampton.
