Mylo (Age 13) - ★★★★★
"This film was very entertaining and was full of brilliant action filled scenes. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was intrigued by the plot that thickened with every minute that passed by.

Stewart - ★★★★★
"A haunting, strange animated film with that wonderful track from Eluvium. It's super creepy and creates a mysterious world all of its own. With echoes of David Lynch it's inspired and one that I just want to explore again as we follow a man's journey to a strange hotel. Animation is fantastic as well. Perfection."
