Garai has plenty of ideas and a willingness to embrace both more intellectual horror ideas and gore.

Eye for Film
Rating: 4/5 --
The subtle performances of Secareanu and Juri anchor the film, preventing it from spiralling into melodrama. Garai both writing and directing a film so packed full of complicated ideas and finding innovative ways to convey them, is an impressive debut.

Rating: 2/5 --
A dull and severe slow-burn where the audacious payoff doesn't quite make the preceding two-thirds of the film feel worth the wait.

Bloody Disgusting
Rating: 3/4 --
Mixing a brooding atmosphere and a sly feminist spin on the horror genre, "Amulet" is a solid statement debut for actor-turned-filmmaker Romola Garai.

Rating: 0.5/5 --
Juri and Secareanu also try to make their budding relationship a kind of possession which threatens to engulf one or both of them, but Garai, who also wrote, just doesn't give them enough of a foundation to truly evoke much of a reaction.

Smart and stylish, with fun detours into lurid excess.

Actress Romola Garai makes a distinctive feature directorial debut with AMULET....She hasn’t just created a stylish potboiler, but a densely textured piece that makes for a truly arresting viewing experience to a point.

Product Description:
Writer-director Romola Garai's debut horror film stars Imelda Staunton, Carla Juri, Alec Secareanu, and Angeliki Papoulia. A strange English young woman and her abusive, terminally ill mother take in a PTSD-afflicted European war refugee after his makeshift home is burnt down. As he helps them to repair their decaying and dilapidated mansion, he begins to suspect that dark and mysterious forces are at work there.
