Amazing on several levels. ... Brings a horrific audio drama into cinema without losing any of the power of its images or its audio-only narrative, but also succeeds in exploring the themes of the far more self-consciously artful film-within-a-film.

RAZZENNEST is an utterly original auditory experiment that works as sharp satire, hilarious meta-commentary, and absolute nightmare fuel. It's so singularly odd (in the best way) that it's impossible to capture its magic through a simple review.

This movie incorporates Swedish words in ridiculous contexts that almost make it seem like you are walking through the aisles of IKEA and reading the funny-sounding Swedish names of the household items.

A clever and scary satire.

Johannes Grenzfurthner’s feature is all at once metacinematic satire, psychogeographical experiment and fanciful ghost story rooted in real history

Razzenest is a clever detour from the formulaic horror tropes. Tension rises slowly but steady in an inventive story that shows us how the worst of people rises up to the surface when things get awry.

Having had its premiere at Fantastic Fest 2022 in the Burnt Ends section, "Razzennest" continues to screen elsewhere, pushing indie audiences to go places they’ve never gone in the process.

Razzennest takes more risks, is more erudite, and is simply better than the majority of indie horror out there.

A fun and original take on movies that focus more on the auditory experience than the visual one.

It is smart and ingenuous but might be lost on many. As much as it tries, it succeeds at making you feel an uneasiness that goes beyond the story being told but also how the entire film is being made.

This is truly madness, but the method behind it creates an effective and unique filmic (and audio) experience.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 10, 2022

If you’re watching this auditory horror film and focusing on what your eyes see rather than what your ears hear, you're missing the point. From the vivid, violent descriptions to the bloodcurdling screams, <i>Razzennest</i> is the stuff of nightmares.

Full Review | Oct 8, 2022

The idea to craft a horror film around a commentary, without allowing the audience to see the violence, should make for an interesting feature. The experiment loses its audience long before we reach the conclusion. Sadly, this just misses the mark.

For those who prefer cinema that challenges and provokes, Razzennest is a film not to be missed.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Oct 1, 2022

Grenzfurthner again created a unique and original auditory experience. The sharp satirical dialogue rarely misses a beat.
