But the reason it all works so effectively is that Marcantonio trusts his audience. His direction is perhaps the film’s greatest strength, demonstrating a striking sense of tone and mood amounting to a destabilizing effect.

Kindred is a demonstration of how a naturalistic horror film can be derivative, in the most flagrant and shameless way, and still work.

The most frustrating thing about the British prenatal horror movie Kindred is not that it’s impersonal, but rather that it’s not personal enough.

Kindred is packed with significant talent, but the slow pace and tedious script leaves the audience looking for the exit before the movie gets going.

This movie broke a key rule of **** horror. A gradation of evil that is ultimately defeated. An excellently conceived film ended in complete disaster. A thought occurred to me - why did anyone even make such a film.
