Reviews:
” … SiREN is a worthwhile watch for horror fans who can appreciate great mood and some clever bits of storytelling. It probably won’t make many end of the year top ten lists, but it’s a fairly memorable and surprisingly smart horror film. I could easily see a film more focused on the horrors of Mr. Nyx’s mansion doing very well…” GeekRex.com
“‘Amateur Night’ was a sketch, but this is a fully-developed narrative with sub-plots and a welcome range of ideas; leeches fat with memories that can be drunk in a cocktail, the tension between the brothers and the several shapes of the demon-succubus-siren-Lilith-vampire waif, who is as much heroine of the story as its main menace … This is more of a thrill-ride than a scare-fest, though Fierman snatches a few quiet moments with her digitally augmented stare and toothy smile.” Kim Newman, Screen Daily
