Son Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
You cannot watch Son without feeling a little sick to your stomach.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
Kavanagh once again delivers potent chills and an ominous atmosphere to create a powerfully discomforting depiction of just how far a mother would go for her son.
The Lens
Andrew Wyatt
Son packs lots of incident and gore into its 98 minutes, but not much originality.
Paste Magazine
Natalia Keogan
In spite of a promising narrative foundation, gruesome effects and a compelling performance from Blumm, Son suffers from assorted perils of predictability and protractedness.
Fat Guys at the Movies
Kevin Carr
It's grim, it's heavy and not a shred of humor in it at all, but it's effectively done.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
Son works on both a visceral and psychological level. It masterfully draws you into its characters and their tragic, paranoid, and grotesque circumstances.
Dread Central
Marcos Codas
A wild ride with a strong message that really rewards the attentive viewer.
What To Watch
Matt Donato
'Son' is a horror story from a mother's perspective that intensifies engagement as what we perceive to be the film's reality becomes an ensnaring and divisive question mark.
Awards Radar
Joey Magidson
A little horror movie, Son is a solid genre offering.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
It's engrossing and well-made, but you'll need a strong stomach to get through it.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Kavanagh and Matichak do a remarkable job of capturing an amped-up version of everyday parental paranoia.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
It's an intriguing, watchable but mixed bag...
CBR
Jon Mendelsohn
Son is reminiscent of slow-burn horror from the 70s, especially in its pacing and premise.
My New Plaid Pants
Jason Adams
A weird little mental infection of discombobulation
Thrillist
Scott Weinberg
A devoted young mother is terrified to learn that her son has come down with a mysterious disease, but the source of the kid's ailments may be quite a bit more insidious than just a simple virus.
The Spool
Gena Radcliffe
Andi Matichak is excellent. There's also a fierceness to her...even an undercurrent of something dangerous.
The Victoria Advocate
Joe Friar
Filled with disturbing scenes, plenty of blood and gore, and more than one ghastly moment, Son delivers the chills if not the jumps.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Wade Major
It really doesn't do anything we haven't seen before and the script is fairly routine, but as a director, Ivan Kavanagh does have some flair.
Ghastly Grinning
Ryan Larson
Son hits in so many emotional spectrums and somehow does so with impact in each. It's not easy to craft a story that scares you or a story that pokes at your heart and somehow Kavanagh does both. Tearjerking and terrifying, Son is a must watch.
Behind The Lens
Debbie Lynn Elias
Twisted and terrifying storytelling.
