Reviews:
“As Gail picks apart her past, the writers leave little clues about the killer. With everyone around her keeping a secret, they all become suspects. Some will spot the killer before understanding why they killed. Make sure you stick around for the why and the conclusion.” 3.5/5 The Best Darn Girls

“The only redeemable moment in this movie is when Alexa answers the phone at the store, and the caller begins with a creepy speech. Alexa hands up the phone and is out of there so quick. Haha! It was great.” Lifetime Uncorked

“The film adds a layer of murder mystery on top of the familial ones, but honestly, that didn’t work quite as well for me as it could have; almost at the outset, I had an idea of where it was headed. Regardless, Souvenirs is a thriller that engages us and has some interesting ideas on family, legacy and who we want to be.” Grade: B Sonic Cinema
