"WITH MAKING MONSTERS JUSTIN HARDING SHOWS HIMSELF TO BE AN INTELLIGENT AND EFFECTUAL WRITER AND DIRECTOR OF FEATURE LENGTH HORROR. ANY FILM FAN SHOULD SEEK THIS FILM OUT AND BE EXCITED TO SEE WHAT HE CAN DO WITH A SLIGHTLY BIGGER BUDGET. I LOOK FORWARD TO TRACKING WHAT WILL SURELY BE A LONG AND SUCCESSFUL CAREER".
"FROM ITS CLEVER SCRIPT TO ITS UNSETTLING CLIMAX, HERE IS A HORROR SHORT THAT DOES EVERYTHING RIGHT - AN INTELLIGENT AND SUSPENSEFUL MASTERWORK THAT PROMISES EVEN GREATER PROJECTS FROM THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION TEAM".
"THIS IS SOMETHING QUITE SPECIAL; THE CONCEPT IS QUITE INGENIOUS - IMAGINE GUILLERMO DEL TORO AND DAVID CROENBERG, WITH A TIST OF THE BLAIR WITCH."
“FOR A FEMINIST HORROR FAN LIKE ME, LATCHED OFFERS HOPE. IT TAKES A DIFFERENT ROUTE THROUGH THE MOTHER-CHILD DYNAMIC, WHICH IS WHAT MAKES IT’S TAKE ON MATERNAL HORROR SO REFRESHING."
“LATCHED IS AN EXCELLENT SHORT FILM AND A PART OF THE DEVELOPING BODY OF WORK ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOKEH COLLECTIVE. BOKEH AND FOLKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRODUCTION OF LATCHED ARE TALENTED INDIVIDUALS AND WE OUGHT TO KEEP AN EYE ON THEM."
“I WAS SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED WITH THE STORY THAT JUSTIN HARDING CAME UP WTIH. IN THE SEVENTEEN-MINUTE RUNTIME, YOU GET A COMPLETE STORY THAT HAS A BIT OF MISS DIRECT, A FALSE SCENE OF CALM AND A PRETTY COOL TWIST. ALL SAID AND DONE, IT WAS A PLEASANT SURPRISE OF IMAGINATION AND ORIGINALITY."
“A GENRE-DEFINING CREATURE FEATURE."
