Self-Help Ratings & Reviews
Sarah G Vincent Views
Sarah Vincent
"Self-Help" is a Halloween holiday treat with narrative tricks that will keep movie goers guessing. "Self-Help" is worth watching if only for the bonkers opening sequence showing a young Olivia at her Halloween/birthday party at an arcade.
DrumDums
Lee McCoy
Director Erik Bloomquist continues to flex his quirky style with charming, yet damaged characters in a horror landscape. The familial exploration only adds to the quality of the cultish nature of this film.
Movie Madness Podcast
Erik Childress
A very confused movie that opens as stabby horror, shifts into cautionary cult terror, and then alternates with tacked-on gore while asking us to take seriously the lead's path into mental wellness.
Assignment X
Abbie Bernstein
If the climax is a bit mundane compared to what has preceded it, we've still been given a fair amount of roller-coaster ride.
Spectrum Culture
Joel Copling
Around the time of the cliched grand finale, we realize how tedious and circular an affair Self-Help has been.

Rachel Wagner
If schlocky low budget slashers are your thing you'll like this film
Rue Morgue Magazine
Michael Gingold
It's more dramatically oriented than an all-out horror show (though the scary stuff definitely lands), and also more psychologically ambitious than the Bloomquists' previous movies.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
An often dull amalgam of psychological thriller, horror and drama with a few twists that aren't very shocking.

Self-Help can be disturbing, but it's only so in strokes too broad to really succeed...
Heaven of Horror
Karina Adelgaard
You'll just have to trust me when I say that this horror thriller has some sinister twists and gorgeously creepy surprises along the way. Also, it gets rather physical (with practical effects) for those in the...

Casey Chong
Landry Bender steals the show in Erik Bloomquist's mixed bag of cult horror and character-driven family drama.
Beyond the Cinerama Dome
Tina Kakadelis
There's a pitch-black, bubble gum silliness to Self-Help, demented in its blend of B-movie fun and character-focused drama. A little Halloweentime gem that's as sweet as it is nasty.

Brian Orndorf
"Self-Help" is oddly sedate for a Halloween-set chiller, but the Bloomquists have their moments. One just wishes there were more of them.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Bloomquist invites us to think again about the type of people who are drawn into cults, and to reflect on what is missing that they need to replace in this way.
Elements of Madness
Douglas Davidson
... manages to stick its overall intention regarding generational differences and how the so-called "selfish generation" may be the ones to finally destroy the perpetual cycle of familial trauma.
Dread Central
Tyler Doupe
The Bloomquist Brothers have done it again. 'Self-Help' is a witty horror picture sure to keep you guessing until the end.
Film Threat
Bobby LePire
Self-Help is a stunningly intense ride. Bloomquist masterfully navigates all the genres, allowing each one the appropriate time to breathe.

Jared Mobarak
It all adds up to an invigorating ride that supplies everything necessary for horror fans to latch onto at the surface and a captivating human story of imperfect souls doing their best to, ultimately, accept themselves underneath.
