"Fans of Ben Wheatley's oeuvre will recognize a certain amount of that director's offbeat influence... but ultimately Gavin's debut is its own brand of nightmare. Walker and Oram are perfectly cast here. It's impossible to figure out who's the madder one, so driven by their collective need to break the bounds of reason. The harsh, atonal score by composer Ray Harman is a masterpiece of hair-raising instrumentality that's every bit as grand and discomfiting as the images onscreen, and cinematographer Cathal Watters' use of natural light – or the lack thereof – is profoundly distressing, in the best possible way." - Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
