The Last Thing Mary Saw is an intriguing and atmospheric but uneven horror offering, with a disappointingly lackluster romance at its center. Read full review

The Last Thing Mary Saw could've been a gripping queer horror about religious oppression, but is sadly limited by its humdrum and unconvincing plot. Read full review
