Press Quotes

The Long Dark Trail takes its graphic novel inspirations to heart and brings audiences face to face with a sadistic cult as themes of fate vs. free will are challenged routinely for the two brothers at the center of this journey into absolute blackness.

     —Loron Hays, REEL REVIEWS

The direction and pacing of the film have a slow and hypnotic quality at the beginning which builds to a crescendo and embraces a Heart of Darkness theme. The viewer is essentially led down the path to horror.

     —Ciallo Julian, DREAD CENTRAL

An unnerving new folk horror tale

     —BLOODY DISGUSTING

The ensuing expedition through rural Northwestern Pennsylvania is nothing short of beautiful. Panoramic and aerial shots of Allegheny National Park are astonishing as well as symbolic of the characters’ place in such a daunting world. Co-directors and co-writers Kevin Ignatius and Nick Psinakis deliver a gorgeous scenic tour before introducing elements straight out of a dark fairytale.” Between the ravishing landscapes and graphic novel stylings, The Long Dark Trail is picturesque. Almost poetic.

     —Paul Lê, Bloody Disgusting

Deploying ominous drone shots of unbroken forestscapes, hallucinogenic lens distortions and PTSD-seared flashbacks to domestic horrors, Ignatius and Psinakis make this escapade indelibly subjective. Ignatius’s evocative scoring – ranging from Appalachian banjo to off-kilter electronics – takes things up another notch.

     —Phil Hoad, The Guardian

THE LONG DAY TRAIL is entertaining with some impressive cinematography and terrific sound effects. It had me wanting to know what was waiting for the brothers around each corner. I was invested in it throughout and genuinely felt for the boys’ wellbeing

     —Sean Cockwell, My Bloody Reviews

The Long Dark Trail has a lot going for it with its solid cast, capable direction and excellent cinematography.
