Reviews:
“The Girl isn’t going to work for those who need wild special effects and non-stop action to hold their attention. It is going to work quite well for those who find plausible tragedies terrifying and love to witness passion seep through the pores of performers. Like another recent Blanc-Biehn production, Hidden in the Woods, The Girl really embraces the grindhouse style of cinema so many of us love…” Addicted to Horror Movies
“The terror inflicted by a twisted Michael Biehn is genuinely one of the best performances of his post Aliens career but this all feels alien against the low budget the film has. The intention and inventive twist on the genre feels somewhat wasted and poorly executed yet not through poor writing or direction but merely shooting with the limitations of cost.” Blood Guts
“The casting of the family just did not fit, and instead of focusing on having a solid storyline, solid characters and an atmosphere they focused on the mother watching a shopping network which took up a LOT of valuable screen time. Avoid at all costs.” Horror Facts
