Reviews:

“Visually, The Pond is a wonderful film loaded with symbols and beautifully-framed shots. Even if the film fails in every other respect, you have to give the director and set designer credit for creating such amazing imagery […] For most average viewers, this is one obtuse beast that all but requires a good eye and fairly strong knowledge of Catholic/Christian faith.” Horror News

“There’s a lot of tension in the confusion of what is reality and what is a hallucination. And it does payoff in the end. Not to give anything away, but the finale that provides “answers” while still being a tad off kilter. The movie doesn’t kill the tone or the tension. The Pond is perfect if you need a night of high tension folk nightmares in the countryside.” Inside Pulse

The Pond often bites off more than it can chew. Regardless, I would much rather a movie have grand ambitions and miss the mark on a few of them than not to try at all. The Pond is still on my mind, and to me, that is the measure of the success of a film.” Screen Anarchy

Release:
The Pond is released on Digital and On-Demand by Shout Factory on February 23rd 2021.
