Words from the Press

"It haunted me quietly, almost like a shadow. It’s a disturbingly beautiful story with layers of emotion and a great female lead."
- PopHorror

“(INK’s) damp sound and grey visuals create a dread that is simultaneously touching and creepy.”
-Rue Morgue

“(INK) messes with your head and leaves you dumbfounded, but begging for more”
-Atomic Age Renegades

"Sometimes film is prose visualized — and sometimes it’s poetry. INK is an example of the latter."
-Morbidly Beautiful
