There are interesting themes, ideas, and bits of filmmaking here, but they’re buried in so much that doesn’t connect that it feels like work to unpack them.

1.5/5

Josh Tanner's Posthumous feels like it should work on paper, but a sluggish story and an incredibly unlikeable protagonist muddles a promising premise.

3/5

A blend of emotional character portrait, rituals, demons, horror and sci-fi, Posthumous chucks everything together to create a wonderfully melancholic puzzle for the audience to piece together.

9/10

Despite its shortcomings, the things that do work about Posthumous work so well that it’s hard to see it as anything less than an auspicious directorial debut for Josh Tanner.

I was really impressed by the way the occult lore was built out, and Lowe so expertly channelled Zoe’s pain that I wanted to reach through the screen and give her a hug (tears were shed). An effective, thrilling, and entertaining film!

Stacked with heart-pounding jump scares and a third-act twist that completely catches you off guard, Posthumous is a terrifying ride.
