Reviews:
“There are moments within The Hive that work very well, and it’s a promising first effort from director Yarovesky, but it ultimately ends up feeling half-baked in spite of it tackling on a deeper than usual story.” Daniel Kurland, Bloody Disgusting
” …it’s a brutal, occasionally heartbreaking tale of societal collapse and the dangers of scientific exploration. By frequently bouncing from past to present, Yarovesky balances two vastly different tones and manages to string them together seamlessly. The film works successfully as both a teen drama and an infection-based horror film.” Blair Hoyle, Cinema Slasher
“The overall plot was properly introduced and elaborated upon, what began as a slow paced, cliché script morphed into a cleverly written conspiracy thriller. The practical effects were superb, the effects team didn’t transform the characters into typical zombie deviations.” Kage Einjeru, Decay Mag
“Instead of being an effective horror movie that has a love story at its heart, it ends up being a jumbled, unfocused, obnoxious mess that jumps back and forth so much, that at one point we didn’t even care what was happening anymore… which sucked” The Horror Club
“The camerawork was very quick with few scenes lasting more than a handful of seconds, it is for want of a better word MTV! Fast scene-to-scene and then going from one time to another. The FX were absolutely top-notch and by the look of it all physical where possible. Some really grimy and nauseating moments were all the better for the physical FX.” Andy Deen, UK Horror Scene
