Reviews for In The Electric Mist
1 - 8 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
An excellent thriller that shouldn't go overlooked by fans of the genre.
03/25/09
The film's atmosphere is so potent and the characters so richly drawn that we can forgive a few odd connections and coincidences.
03/13/09
Even the main plot itself turns out to be mostly a loss, largely forgotten by the time we wrap things up in the end.
03/07/09
It's a complex web of story in this film, but hardly hard to follow.
03/06/09
Even though the film meanders a bit, the skilful direction and camerawork combine with strong acting to create an engaging, insinuating thriller

There are too many subplots going on to make it work other than as a mildly intriguing curiosity.
02/17/09
The whole gumbo lacks real zing.
