While it Lasts Dept: Good reception for Fessenden’s TRAUMA

“Nobody makes horror movies like Fessenden, and “Trauma” might be his best yet.”
—Simon Abrams, RogerEbert.com

“If you’re a fan of the filmmaker, Trauma, Or Monsters All
will be like sweet mana from horror heaven. It’s every inch a Fessen-film.”
—Screen Anarchy

“takes a lot of flashy, familiar horror concepts and renders them with unexpected quiet thoughtfulness.”
—Assignment X

“Fessenden ties the chronicle together in an impressive way, delivering on the existential crises while viewing the situation through the eyes of a brand new protagonist, forced into the shadows as much as the perceived monsters she’s chasing but in an entirely different way.”
—Love Horror

“’Trauma’s’ ultimate success relies on asking who the real monsters are
…yes, it’s us, but also maybe the vampire.”
—Macabre Daily

“brings together decades of creative history, supernatural creatures, and a collection of current issues that are difficult to separate from the world outside the theater…
These monsters have never been just villains, and their shared story isn’t interested in turning them into antiheroes either. They’re damaged, complicated individuals living in a world that often finds it easier to condemn what it doesn’t understand.”
—OVERLY HONEST MOVIE REVIEWS

“massive blocks of considered text inundate the viewer, all while a deep sadness prevails just underneath, one all the more affecting as experienced through the haze of a trance.
No wonder audiences don’t “cheer” at Fessenden’s movies!
They are all trapped in the same melancholic stupor, like a fly in the spider’s web.
—In Review Online

LARRY FESSENDEN (2023 103 mins, C500)

ALEX HURT, ADDISON TIMLIN, MOTELL GYN FOSTER, JOSEPH CASTILLO-MIDYETT, ELLA RAE PECK, RIGO GARAY, JOHN SPEREDAKOS, MICHAEL BUSCEMI, JEREMY HOLM, JOE SWANBERG, BARBARA CRAMPTON, JAMES LE GROS, MARSHALL BELL

A Fine Arts painter is convinced that he is a werewolf wreaking havoc
on a small American town under the full moon.

★★★★★
“one of the most intelligent and interesting werewolf movies of the twenty-first century.”
—Craig Ian Mann, OurCulture

“One of the 13 best horror films of the year (so far)…
a compelling and haunting drama about a man trying to atone for his own beastly nature
in a monstrous world, and the inventive werewolf kills are just gravy.”
—Matthew Jackson, AV Club
