The Leech Ratings & Reviews
ScullyVision
Dan Scully
As much a thriller as it is a comedy, and as much a horror film as it is an exploration of blind faith
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An uneven Christmas horror comedy about a couple who test a stuffy priest's faith to its limit.
Wicked Horror
Joey Keogh
The Leech doesn't unfold as you'd expect it to. Even the pacing, although deliberate, places the weight on seemingly innocuous moments. ... By the end, you'll be left wondering not just who the title refers to, but also what was real and not.
Film Threat
Richard Schertzer
The Leech is not a great romp in the comedic or horror genres. It has horror parody written all over it, and those are rarely any good.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
The screenplay is ultimately both a bit crude and pretentious, aiming for a resonance it can't quite attain. But The Leech is well-directed, and the able performers really throw themselves into their roles, as unappealing as they often are.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Scrappy, fierce indie that's shot a shoestring budget but is funny, weird and features two hilarious lead performances.
AIPT
Nathaniel Muir
Everything is perfectly paced with each inconvenience building on the previous. What starts off as little chuckles turn to belly laughs before morphing into complete WTF moments. The last twenty minutes of The Leech are surprisingly dark.
Collider
Chase Hutchinson
While The Leech starts out sturdy yet simple, feeling more like a psychological thriller than anything, when it takes a leap into the full-fledged spectacle of horror, it is worth getting lost in along with the characters.
TheIndependentCritic.com
Richard Propes
Jeremy Gardner serves up a psychedelic tour-de-force.
Ghouls Magazine
Caitlyn Downs
Eric Pennycoff's The Leech delivers on fierce satire and wry dark comedy in this (mostly) three-way Christmas pot-boiler.
Paste Magazine
Matt Donato
The Leech is a seedy, nefarious and scrappy morality tale that excels on the backs of its big-swinging performers.
Everything's Interesting
Eric Langberg
Christmas lights are strung and axes are swung, and it all culminates in a festive descent into madness and mayhem that feels destined to become a perennial indie-horror favorite.
Nashville Scene
Jason Shawhan
Perfect for anyone who needs confirmation that a holiday alone isn't a terribly awful thing.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Ultimately it doesn't have much depth and the production is of the rough and ready variety, but it's still likely to win Pennycoff some fans.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
A welcome edition to the Christmas horror genre.
Dread Central
Mary Beth McAndrews
'The Leech' is a sin-filled stocking stuffed with chaos, whiskey, cocaine, and dildos. And yet, it still could have been weirder.
Daily Dead
Michelle Swope
The Leech is horny, and bloody, and loud and it's impossible not to have a good time watching it.
