“It boasts some nice tricks, including a sudden reflection in the mirror and one jump with an Ouija board, but for the horror purists, it is more of a slow-burning vehicle than a pulse-pounding paranormal thriller. That being said, scares aren’t everything and Deadly Intent makes up for it with an undeniable dread, especially paired with the very real and gritty discussion of PTSD.” Luke, Oracle of Film
