PRESS:

“Seth Smith’s ‘Lowlife’ snags top audience award at Atlantic Film Festival”
-The Hollywood Reporter

“A unique beast, with a deliberate, squalid, surreal aesthetic that may delight fans of harsh cinema”
-Fangoria

“The latest in a line of independent horror films that offer a fresh take on the genre and push the boundaries of cinema.
-Dread Central

“Lowlife is the feel-bad hit of 2012”
-Vice / Noisey

“A shiver-inducing… mudsploitation flick”
-Weid Canada

“A hefty dose of horrific imagery and surrealism”
-Beyond Hollywood

“…The year’s most addictively uncomfortable lo-fi horror/weirdo drug comedy.”
-Fast Forward Calgary

“A chaotic labyrinth, Lowlife seeks inspiration from extreme narcotic-induced delirium to deliver unconventional visuals that recall Eraserhead.”
-Fantasia International Film Festival

“Clearly the most original feature debut in East Coast cinematic history… terrifying surrealism that echoes—and sometimes surpasses—the work of David Lynch and Luis Bunuel.”
-Atlantic International Film Festival
