MENTIONS & REVIEWS
​"Well shot and appropriately eerie this proof of concept promotes the potential for a feature length creeper so be on the lookout!​"
- Bloody Disgusting

"You don’t need a bunch to get a ghost story going, and that’s what The Orchestra shows. It has almost a Mike Flanagan style about it . . . Curtis Matzke does a fantastic job in making your mind whirl to know who, what, where and why these ghosts exist."
- Dis/Member


"Overall, the film was hauntingly chilling. I would love to see the film become a full feature film."
