Reception
The film has a 68% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The site's consensus reads, "Kindred's naturalistic approach may frustrate viewers seeking jump scares, but this psychologically driven horror story casts its own grim spell."[4] Kate Erbland of IndieWire graded the film a B.[5]
Owen Gleiberman of Variety gave the film a positive review and wrote that "Kindred is a demonstration of how a naturalistic horror film can be derivative, in the most flagrant and shameless way, and still work."[6]
David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a positive review and wrote "Marcantonio shows confidence and maturity in his choices. There are no cheap jump scares or shocks, just a queasy feeling that gets under the skin and remains there in a film notable for its sustained mood."[7]
