"An excellent throwback to the slasher horrors from the 70s and 80s, with a strong lead performance and a nice little twist at the end. It’s brash, silly and wonderfully gory. A real treat for gorehounds."

Midlands Movies (Review)
"Delightful triubte to film classics, made by and for horror lovers... - Beautifully and professionally crafted!"

Audience Feedback (Cinematig Film Festival)
"Through the use of building tension in a normally beautiful, quiet, mundane location, The River crafts a great short horror and avoids the pitfall of an over-reliance on jump scares."
