This film is like a tree falling in a forest with no one around to hear it, it's ready to roar!!! Fabulous writing, which is edgy, captivating, and intellectually fulfilling!! Nadine Velazquez is a true talent, she was at the top of her craft in this film!!! I have watched this film several times, and each time, it is more captivating than before! A true must-see!!!

Well I wasn't sure what to expect, but the film was a nice surprise to the usual gore. The actors were selected for the roles and really brought the film to life. The Cleveland area will never be the same to me after watching this!

This is the rare horror film that could be aptly described as "relaxing."

The Hollywood Outsider

The Charnel House is an intriguing thriller with a novel concept, carried forward by a bold and focused performance from its lead.

Rated: 5/10

The change of view is welcome, but Moss isn't inventive, ornamenting a curiously bizarre premise with routine scares.

Rated: C-

The Charnel House doesn't break any conspicuously new ground, but the setting is distinctive.
