Artifacts (film)

Artifacts is a 2007 horror film by Belgian directors Giles Dadust and Emmanuel Jespers. It was released in the United States by Lionsgate films.

Released in the US under Lionsgate DVDs, Artifacts has very little if any fanfare. A trailer was created and was printed on most of Lionsgates then current releases, but it does not say much about the film. Artifacts does, however, sport four film festival awards. These include Official Selection at the Hollywood Film Festival, Winner of the Platinum Award at the Worldfest Houston International Independent Film Festival, Official Selection at the Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Film, and Official Selection at Fantasporto.DVD Talk praised the film, noting good acting and a compelling unbloated plot while criticising its openended ambiguous ending, and rated it highly recommended. DVD Verdict was less keen, saying theres not much happening here, praising the acting and visuals while criticising the plot. Dread Central gave it 35, calling it good for a quick watch but forgettable, and giving the DVD special features, a documentary featurette on the making of the film, 15. Cinema Fantastique gave it 25, finding the scenario simplistic and the direction repetitive. ........
