Reviews:
“Jarvi and cinematographer Alexander Lakin take advantage of their location’s neon, candy coloured funfair aesthetic, and it’s a refreshing change from the grimy, squint inducing visuals of many of today’s indie horrors (and indeed many horror movies working with Hollywood budgets). By no means a slasher classic, Haunt Season offers enough in its enthusiasm to make it worthy of a spot on your spooky season watchlist…” ★★★½ The Movie Waffler
“While it has some fun moments, Haunt Season suffers from uncertainty over just what kind of a film it wants to be. It bounces back and forth between horror and drama, frequently killing its own momentum in the process. It’s not until it ditches the drama in the final act and concentrates on scares that it really comes to life.” ★★½ Voices from the Balcony
