Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 85% of 13 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.40/10.[5]

Phil Hoad of The Guardian rates the film 4 out of 5 rating and he said: It isn't just Cognetti's solid deployment of the backstory that impresses; he and cinematographer Josh Layton also show a devious command of camera mechanics, vital to the subjective found-footage experience.[6] Maegan Navarro of Bloody Disgusting gave the film a rating of 3.5 over 5 and wrote: While the effective, goosebump-inducing scares and refreshing expansion of the story feel like a return to form for this franchise, The Carmichael Manor is hampered by its found footage format. The intrepid Margot makes the familiar missteps into found footage trope territory that seals her group's fate.[7]
