Letterboxd review 🟠🟢🔵 Obviously very low budget and very odd but surprisingly works very well in this post covid, economy over everything world. Some good laughs albeit an inconsistent schlocky. The landlady is the star of the show. boxd.it/yzYs

If you have little tolerance for horror films that lean towards the self-consciously “arty,” then "Friend of the World" is definitely not the movie for you. morbidlybeautiful.com/tubi-f…

This horror film might be more interested in political paranoia than actual horror—and that's exactly why it stands out. youtube.com/watch?v=YZqOC4Tx…

The world of Hemet is populated with so many supporting characters, all strongly costumed. This is a great strength; the world created feels populated, and the characters all have unique relationships to each other. gnofhorror.com/hemet-or-the-…

"The end of the world has never felt more bizarre than in the black-and-white, black comedy stylings of 'Friend of the World', a perpetual grey zone caught between salvation and destruction, lightness and horror." –@MagazineTILT

"Still Butler's Liz is an iconic force of nature that takes 'Hemet, or the Landlady Don't Drink Tea' from mildly entertaining to hilarious at times. When she gets on a tear and begins to chatter there's no telling what will spill forth from her bitter mouth." –@Horror_Buzz

Sincerely Saul "The nihilistic frosting on this degenerate cake is that the movie is in washed-out black-and-white, calling to mind the early maverick films of John Waters and Doris Wishman." –@nytimes

"Do you like raunchy geriatrics and leg-eating zombies? Look no further than 'Hemet, or the Landlady Don’t Drink Tea.'" –Celia Payne, Let's Talk Terror

She's not a tea person. You'll see. #TheLandladyDontDrinkTea

The best movie on your October watchlist might be the one nobody’s heard of. tubitv.com/movies/100046185

Despite the seeming WTF nature of "Friend of the World", there is order and sense, even if the structure, the narrative within, and the execution feel wildly unorthodox. elementsofmadness.com/2022/0…

"Anyone that has ever braved a film-set will be twisting in their seats during moments of 'Everybody Dies by the End'." –@GizmoShikari #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days

This landlady refuses to drink one very ordinary beverage.

Halloween is coming. Time to find the movie that somehow slipped through everyone’s radar. tubitv.com/movies/100030476/
