“…Dark, claustrophobic, Lovecraftian…fierce energy.” 

“The film reminds us how under-appreciated David is as a master of horror. A low budget overachiever….moody and surprisingly tense” 

Joe Bendel, JB Spins

“Twists, turns, revelations and about-turns aplenty…intense scenes and some quality violence/gore effects courtesy of Vincent Guastini (Requiem for a Dream, Dogma, The Taking of Deborah Logan).”

Ken Wild, Bad Movie Cult

“Keith David is effortlessly entertaining”

The Rotting Zombie

“An Old school horror film! FROM THE SHADOWS mixes smartphone footage, computer conference footage and traditional cinematic narrative to present a tale of spiritual academics”

Fears Magazine

“An exercise in Lovecraftian horror, in the zoom online conference-calling age….Smartly made horror that rises well above its budget and any limitation of its production.””

Diablo Joe

Alan Howarth’s score is mesmerizing.

The Daily Californian

A scrappy independent feature with big-budget concepts, From the Shadows delivers a gnarly Lovecraftian entry to the screen-life horror subgenre.

– Aaron Christensen,
HORROR 101 with Dr. AC 

“’From The Shadows’ intertwines the horror genre, with science fiction and expands on the perceptual power of the mind. A top notch cast includes industry legends Keith David and Bruce Davison.”

Cinema Daily US

“Genuinely enjoyable supernatural shenanigans”

Don’s World of Horror and Exploitation

“This movie goes hard in its second half. The use of practical effects and clever camera tricks make every kill effective and entertaining…I highly recommend going to see it, especially if you like paranormal horror and found footage movies.”
