Critic Reviews:
- " AĀ savvy deepening and recontextualising of a must-see scary-movie franchise that'sĀ as much about desire, dreams and determination as notching up deaths. "Ā ā Sarah Ward (Concrete Playground)
- " GothāsĀ energy, focus and commitment here is extraordinary. "Ā ā Paul Whitington (Irish Independent)
- " Pearl exists primarily as a savage and silly showcase for the utterly luminous Goth, who sinks her acting teeth into the myriad tones and vibes of the character. "Ā ā Tom Beasley (Film Stories)
