“Enveloping you in its vintage folds, Peter Strickland's hypnotic horror film turns fashion into a death sentence.”~Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out

Aroview: Utterly beguiling and sumptuous ghost story from singular British director Peter Strickland (DUKE OF BURGUNDY), following a possessed red dress as it torments various unfortunate owners across the busy season in a department store.

Appropriates the gorgeous colours and textures of the giallo horror genre, woven through with a dark dream logic. Without taking itself too seriously, this is formal cinema at its finest.

4 stars (Very Good) Although the segment with Marianne Jean-Baptiste was the strongest - she was excellent - the screenplay and the characters throughout were refreshingly different. ~Tubbs

4 stars (Very Good) When it comes to horror movies about a red dress there's this and I'm Dangerous Tonight. That one's bad. This one is great. ~Pearce
