★ 6/10
An atmospheric, slow-burn thriller with some very current themes, 'Spiral' leans a little too heavily on both its cinematic influences and cheap “boo“ scares. It also doesn't take a genius to see how all of this will end. But the strong craftsmanship in front of and behind the camera keep the journey interesting, and when everything comes together, it does so with such jarring intensity that by the time the audience finally regains its footing, we've reached the final scene of the film. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-spiral-paranoid-horror-in-the-burbs
