The Radleys

“The Radleys” is presented with an unobtrusive visual plainness, which never evolves, and often manifests as a lack of energy.

Euros Lyn, whose TV work is usually fast, vibrant and lively, doesn't seem to be able to get a handle On this at all, but he's not helped by an anaemic, joyless script that's managed to suck all the life out of Matt Haig's sprightly novel.

An entertaining massacre, although without many ideas of its own. [Full review in Spanish]

The most impressive element of The Radleys is that, thanks to its talented cast and smart tweaks to the original story, you'll care for this family come the inevitably bloody finale.

Damian Lewis' scene-stealing dual role offers some bites in this decent, darkly funny vampire comedy-horror.

As the tone lurches from deadpan fun to darker developments, The Radleys ultimately bites off more than it can chew.

Despite a promising premise and incredibly talented cast and crew, The Radleys delivers an underwhelming finished product that falls flat.

Euros Lyn's film could be tighter, given its not terribly original conceit. But it has its points, and a late-breaking gay romance angle is sweetly handled.

The beats are there—they just keep getting hit in precise order without the nuance necessary for organic emotional attachment. That clinical nature ensures it works, but only superficially so in the moment.

It observes these characters as living and very human figures, even if, technically, they're not quite either of those things.
