These are strong performances, committed to the truth of the scenario however grim that might be but Young’s talents extend beyond that. Having also written the script, he clearly designed this film to allow him to show off some impressive, expressive visual storytelling. Read full review

Hounds Of Love is a remarkable achievement in that it does exactly what it sets out to do, and what it sets out to do is traumatize the hell out of you. You just might not want to watch it twice. Read full review

Deliberately uncomfortable viewing, this is nevertheless a compelling exercise in gritty psycho-noir with outstanding performances and real dramatic weight. Director Ben Young is a name to watch. Read full review

Director Ben Young’s first narrative feature is loosely based on actual events, which makes watching this psychological horror show all the more harrowing. Read full review

Hounds may be predictable in plot, but it succeeds in making a psychological web of this troubled threesome. Read full review

Hounds of Love is a disturbing psychological thriller/horror that does a good job of maintaining the tension.
Stephen Curry was a surprise casting choice but he does a good job.

While the story wasn't original, the characters were cliché, the plot was predictable and the ending was atrociously cheesy, the rest of the film was pretty good.
