Reviews

Critics gave The Treehouse mixed to positive reviews, appreciating its atmospheric tension and confined setting. On IMDb, the film holds a score around 5.7/10, reflecting audience enjoyment of its psychological thriller aspects but noting some pacing issues. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an official critic score for this title, possibly due to its limited release, but user reviews highlight the film's effective use of suspense and claustrophobic environment. Metacritic also lacks a formal rating, but reviewers praised Kelly Misek Jr.'s performance and the film's minimalistic approach to horror, which relies more on mood and character interaction than traditional jump scares. Some critiques focus on its slow build and abstract narrative, which may not appeal to all viewers, but overall The Treehouse is considered a thoughtful and engaging indie thriller that uses its sparse cast and setting to create palpable tension.
