The Moogai Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
With "The Moogai," Bell wrestles with the horrors of the past and acknowledges the history of the Aboriginal children who never had a chance at a future.
Screen Rant
Mary Kassel
A tale of motherhood, generational bravery, and the slow healing of long-held wounds elevates this slightly unfocused Australian horror film.
Loud and Clear Reviews
Louis Roberts
There is regretfully little to differentiate The Moogai from any other generic frightfest. Nonetheless, it is a competently made feature-length debut and a clear labour of love, with some memorably eerie imagery to boot.

KT Mahe
Tapping into Indigenous lore and an ensemble of well beloved talent carry a considered lens. At times, it felt as though, the potential to dig deeper was simplified for a broader understanding.

Delivers a compelling setup and shines as an Indigenous horror story. Strong performances anchor the film, but its unrealised potential leaves lingering "why" questions.

Nadine Whitney
The Moogai has many strengths, but it is if those strengths are enough to call it an effective supernatural horror movie. The Moogai keeps its true scares in the real world and conceivably they are chilling enough.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
Not everyone has understood exactly why this is such a brave, confident movie, but everyone needs to know that - despite this - Jon Bell is exactly the kind of filmmaker Australia is lucky to have right now, and desperately needs.
Creepy Kingdom
Dolores Quintana
THE MOOGAI is about the ghosts of the past, a reckoning with that past, and the pain it caused generations of Aboriginal people. It is an emotionally captivating and culturally relevant horror film with powerhouse performances.
Dread Central
Josh Korngut
It never lives up to the promises of its opening sequence, and a lack of commitment to its horror leaves 'The Moogai' without much to latch on to.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
This forgettable, flimsy trauma horror film is too similar to ones that came before, and it doesn't break any new ground in the genre.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Despite its strong production values the film doesn't work.
Film Inquiry
Jules Caldeira
Though the scares could have hit a bit harder in places, the themes of historical tragedy and psychology penetrate The Moogai so deeply that the emotional resonance stands strong.
Substream Magazine
Murjani Rawls
It's a shame because there's a compelling premise built into what this story is saying - but it does not provide the runaway to voice it all.
Variety
Siddhant Adlakha
Sadly, its attempts to express the lingering pain and far-reaching historical trauma behind these experiences are rendered moot by dull and tensionless filmmaking.
Slashfilm
Chris Evangelista
Is Sarah going crazy, or is an Aboriginal demon known as the Moogai at work? This material seems perfect for a creepy horror movie, but "The Moogai" feels undercooked and underdeveloped.
DarkSkyLady Reviews
DarkSkyLady
The Moogai builds a tense, discomforting tale that haunts viewers and makes parents want to clutch their kids.
Collider
Chase Hutchinson
Just as the characters spend the film searching for some form of healing, The Moogai itself never finds the right frequency to do this journey justice.
io9.com
Cheryl Eddy
The movie's horror elements are too familiar, and its metaphors too heavy-handed, to make The Moogai feel like a movie that's more than the sum of its parts.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A film that comes apart relatively early due to an unconvincing lead performance and shallow writing before it really spins off the rails with creature design that should be a cautionary tale for anyone who tries to make a film like this in the future.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
What saves The Moogai is its haunting final image, a variation on the same closing shot from the short film.
