• Timescolonist.com: a quietly unsettling folklore-inspired feature debut that turns familiar horror tropes on their ear. McLeod’s performance is as much a highlight as the spooky spirit Lutter conjures, enhanced by Nelson and Graham Talbot’s striking cinematography and David Parfit’s sinister score.
• Starburstmagazine.com: A diverting supernatural thriller and a film with talent to watch out for in the future. 7/10.
• Mondaymag.com: Lutter is a skillful traditionalist, invoking all the expected tropes of a fright flick with a sharp eye and a dark sense of glee.
• Twoohsix.com: The Hollow Child feels appropriately spooky, it has the dark and gloomy feel of a classic moody thriller, and the cast is fantastic from top to bottom. Horror fans, definitely give this one a look.
• Jbspins.blogspot.com: Young Hannah Cheramy also chews the scenery like a seasoned horror genre performer as impostor Olivia.
• Horrorgeeklife.com: An outstanding horror film. It was fresh, and dark, and one of the best iterations of little girl-turned monster that I have seen in years.
• Crypticrock.com: Clever and thought-provoking, CrypticRock gives this film 4 out of 5 stars.
