Critic Reviews for The Special

All Critics (2) | Fresh (2)

Addiction, sex, and the complexity of mistrust all feature strongly in this simple yet abstract horror from B. Harrison Smith. Fascinating and horribly delicious.

The Special is not a love story. It is a lesson and it is taught phenomenally well.
