Critic Reviews:
If you enjoy character-based thrillers, which is something indie film productions excel at, then Don’t Tell a Soul should be perfect for you. And if you “just” enjoy watching a thriller with a sharp story and tight pace, then this is also worth checking out.
In short, there’s a lot to like about how “Don’t Tell a Soul” goes about its business of DTV indie chills. I just think its solution for a conclusion is more of a convenient copout than a clever twist.
What you might not expect from “Don’t Tell a Soul” is a giddily cynical streak of black humor... That sort of edgy, sorta grim sense of humor ultimately defines what works and what doesn’t in writer/director Alex McAulay’s debut, an ambitious black comedy that never goes far enough.
