Little Joe's unorthodox approach may baffle horror fans lured in by its premise -- but like its title character, the end result exerts a creepy thrall.

What if you bred a plant with the power to make people "happy" - and its zombified fans would kill to protect it? You'd have Jessica Hausner's mindbending 'Little Joe'-a 'Body Snatchers' for the age of antidepressants. December 7, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

It feels a little too muted to be truly frightening or creepy... But the aesthetic is interesting. I was disappointed, but not uninterested. December 7, 2019 | Full Review…

By eschewing fast-paced suspense Hausner takes the sting out of her story, instead showcasing a bold aesthetic sense that feels like an exciting taste of what's to come. February 19, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Only occasionally will the director permit us the partial release of an old-fashioned shock. When violence does break out, she finds a way to stage it so that we feel the punch, as it were, without actually seeing it. February 19, 2020 | Full Review…

Little Joe is a gripping and visually striking satire of essentialist maternal instinct and the contemporary anxiety of wellbeing. February 18, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

You long for something explosive to happen and it doesn't, which is surely part of the point that Hausner is making, but Little Joe is at times the cinematic equivalent of taking some heavy mood stabilisers. February 11, 2020 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…
