A Desert Ratings & Reviews
Cinema Crazed
Emilie Black
Some will love it, but for this viewer it was one of those misses where the film is neither good nor bad; it just is, and there is no greater cinematic sin than a bland film. Especially when it had potentially to be so much more.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
There's only so much room for mystery in a movie whose surreal ambiguity only says so much.
The Film Stage
Christian Gallichio
Once the style settles in, we are left with a compelling but frustratingly ambiguous film.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The whole film seems haunted by something-some intangible quality of loneliness, despair, and desperation...
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
There's a fantastically unhinged performance in here which it would be a spoiler to say too much about. Everyone is good at what they do.
New York Times
Calum Marsh
It's a strange film, but it works, and feels grounded, because of its ensemble cast.

When the movie concludes, I wasn't left with a feeling of awe at the brilliant plot construction of the creative character development, instead I was pretty sure the story didn't know where it intended to go, or even what its point was
High on Films
Shikhar Verma
Erkman's slow-burn horror has a sense of mystery that keeps you engrossed. However, it also slides away so much from where it's aiming that much of it gets diluted as the narrative progresses into anti-narrative territory.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Mix of neo-noir and horror.
The Blogging Banshee
Molly Henery
A Desert is a hauntingly bleak neo-noir thriller, taking the audience on a strange journey into the darker side of human nature.
Loud and Clear Reviews
William Stottor
Memorable visuals and slick editing can't mask the deeper issues with A Desert - namely, the flimsy narrative and glacial pacing.
Next Best Picture
Cody Dericks
In terms of its content, "A Desert" really does feel like a nightmare. But much like even the scariest of dreams, it doesn't linger long in the minds of those experiencing it once it's over.
Rue Morgue Magazine
Michael Gingold
A DESERT plunges us from the start into a world that feels immediate and consistently threatening, while also dropping into the surreal and unexplained on occasion.
HorrorBuzz
Norman Gidney
A haunting tale that examines the desire to recapture the past while facing mortality.
Collider
Chase Hutchinson
After all the building up, Erkman goes all out in an ending that is defined by tying the various interconnected parts together just as everything comes unraveled. There is no hope to be found in this, just more and more horror.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
A Desert should be best celebrated as a Choose Your Own Adventure film for sickos. It has so many dynamic moving parts that are all meticulously and soulfully orchestrated.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
sense of unpinnable but pervasive evil is something the film would like to communicate, but lacks the stylistic finesse to achieve. The narrative ultimately vanishes down a rabbit's hole.
IndieWire
Christian Zilko
Rather than trying to understand exactly what it means, you're better off appreciating it like one of Alex's photos. Just like an abandoned roadside diner becoming overrun by fungi and rodent's nests, sometimes the emptiness is the point.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
There's no handholding or easy answers in this genre-bender, but its richly textured world and morally complex characters ensure an unpredictable voyage worth taking.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
A nightmare that burrows under one's skin like a virus (or a curse), and it heralds its creator as a bracing new genre-filmmaking voice.
