Horror fans should keep their eyes on the filmmakers — and Essoe, who gives a star-making performance. - 75

As gory as it is corrosively cynical, a supernatural mood piece that's equally influenced by the arthouse horror movies of David Lynch and Roman Polanski, and the grindhouse-ready Satanic Panic films of the '70s, like "To the Devil a Daughter," and "The Devil Rides out." - 50
Village Voice
The film is far less successful once it delves into body horror that makes Sarah's transformation as ghoulishly physical as it is mental. - 40
The Dissolve
Spelling everything out is never recommended, but for a horror movie, in particular, it’s death. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
The degeneration into familiar genre tropes reduces the impact of the wittily satirical set-up, with the result that Starry Eyes fails to live up to its initial promise. But the film indicates genuine talent on the part of its directors/screenwriters, who infuse the proceedings with a dark, gothic creepiness that is further enhanced by Jonathan Snipes' retro, synthesizer-infused score reminiscent of John Carpenter. - 30
The New York Times
A pretty young actress. A casting call. A private meeting with the lecherous man who has the power to give her the role. Starry Eyes tries to wring a horror movie out of this tired old setup but, halfway in, seems to realize it has nothing new to offer and becomes a mere gorefest.
