A soulless horror thriller that fails to captivate thanks to a poor script and some terribly unconvincing performances from certain cast members.

While lead actress Rosie Day turns in a phenomenal performance, The Seasoning House is more bite than bark, creating an uneven and empty watch.

Hyett earned his reputation as a prosthetics wiz on films like The Descent and The Woman in Black; the human monsters he gives us here might as well be made out of cardboard.

This is a deeply unpleasant subject matter and Hyett's handling of it leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.

It's cleverly made on a small budget, but is so over-designed and carefully structured that we never believe it.

The film's downbeat switchback ending is neither convincing nor earned.

It's atmospheric and a tense journey, arguably not unlike Gravity if you were to replace the vacuum of space with a bunch of angry, accented dudes
