Reception

David Gelmini of Dread Central rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote: "Regardless of how you view Evie, the nuanced direction and the strong performances from the cast help to make this into a highly effective slow-burning drama. It’ll likely be remembered as one of the most thought-provoking films from FrightFest this year." [3] Martin Unsworth of Starburst called it "Brunt’s most emotive film since his debut Before Dawn and would work just as well without any mythical qualities." Unsworth wrote that the film "makes the most of the isolated location with sweeping seascapes and windswept dunes" and that the "provocative" score "provides a pensive accompaniment, particularly in the scenes of high drama." [4] Film critic Kim Newman praised the cinematography and wrote that the final act "ties up the plot threads in a satisfying manner – there’s still ambiguity, but we get some concrete genre horror business which pleasingly delivers a consistent irrational explanation for everything – to leave us with a feeling of being genuinely haunted." [5]
