"There's a movie coming on Shudder in October called
THE CYCLE. I don't usually pump up horror movies (unless they are mine, haha), but this is special. Put it on your calendar."
- Stephen King


"The Cycle is a total blast. It makes a radical turn about halfway through that is completely unexpected and then becomes an over-the-top celebration of practical makeup effects. I highly recommend it."
- Mick Garris


"The Cycle punches above its weight class in every aspect..."
- Fangoria, Amelia Emberwing


"...a thrilling practical effects-fueled horror movie..."
- Bloody Disgusting, Meagan Navarro
