Reviews:
“The film is a bit of an underdog, but it should not be. The film really stands on its own. From a high production value, to thedevelopment of the plot, Trace will draw many viewers into its mostly unique story. Most of the characters are well drawn.” 28 Days Later Analysis

“The movie scores points for largely confining itself to closed spaces and for maintaining some tension as the members of the group die off […] it’s reasonably creepy in places, and refreshingly doesn’t spend too much time on the demonic backstory. Generic but not unappealing.” Dark Eyes of London

“This is much more of a psychological horror than anything else. The deaths are tame and the scares are few and far between […] Those who enjoy their horror more on the creepy side might want to give this a shot – once the demon makes an appearance, the movie picks up the pace.” Horror Talk

“Trace is a very effective little horror flick that really understands how to play with audience expectations and succeeds to surprise the viewer even if the plotline is laid out in front of them. Much of this is thanks to the characters being not just of the cookie-cutter variety, and the comparative vagueness of the threat that only becomes more tangible the longer the film goes.” Search My Trash
