The Damned (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (original) (raw)

Billie Walker Little White Lies What may have been intended as a chilling revelation, serves only as a reminder (one becoming increasingly frequent) that audiences are no longer to be trusted with the slightest inference. Rated: 2/5 Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Anna Smith Time Out But if you invest in its characters, it offers a thought-provoking insight into the depths of the human mind when faced with the laws of survival. It’s grim, but good. Rated: 3/5 Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle What Palsson is really tackling here is that intersection between the real and the arcane. Rated: 3/5 Jan 7, 2025 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix The Damned is a 'slow burn' psychological thriller about a widow leading a group of fishermen with a 'survival of the fittest' attitude in a remote part of Iceland. It's a horror film about the evil that can come from extreme mistrust. Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid The freezing, desolate arctic winter is the most important thing in the movie, the thing that makes everything work so well. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Rebecca Sayce Starburst Coupled with the beautiful yet deadly landscape, moody lighting, and eerie score, The Damned is an effectively unsettling psychological horror that explores the monsters we can become when faced with a fight for survival.
