Blackout

"Maybe some things could be tightened narratively, but you always get the gist of what Fessenden is going for while knowing those moments that might be lacking aren't a product of intent" 

"Fessenden offers a veritable, funny, sometimes sluggish yet poignant slice of life (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)" 

"Fessenden’s latest has a lot to recommend it, but not enough to fully satisfy (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"Not everything about the DIY aura of 'Blackout' is effective and the pace can slow to a heavy lope (...) Yet the idiosyncratic earnestness of an experienced horrormeister playing with the classics still makes for a substantial midnight snack" 

"A work of fascinatingly conflicted, far-reaching curiosity (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"A Werewolf Horror Movie Without Any Bite" 

"A werewolf movie that had me a little torn. I loved the classic werewolf story and I appreciated the focus on various issues. However, it gets a bit too long (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"'Blackout's' noble message, interesting material, and ambition are masked by a muddled story that fails to engage the viewer (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"
