REVIEWS
'If you see RETCH coming in a festival block, just let it grab you and enjoy the breeze. Horror could use more of it now and again.'
- Sam Kolensik, Screen Fervor
'Storytelling at its purest, is at its most cinematic form in “Retch.” [...]
It’s a tense experience, with a sharp, clever payoff.'
- Brian Skutle, Sonic Cinema
‘…when RETCH reaches its climax, it takes a surprisingly bold turn many horror filmmakers wouldn’t attempt, and it perfectly justifies its short duration, delighting audiences.’
- Nuria Leon Bernardo (MotelX Festival short film programmer)
‘A charged horror short with a delicious twist, perfectly judged.'
- Edinburgh Short Film Festival
‘Siewert does a stirring job with Retch, kick-starting the tension right away and fashioning an eerie, dread-filled atmosphere. Retch is the type of horror that you can barely stand to watch what is happening, but you can’t wait to see what’s next.’
- Joseph Perry, Horror Fuel
