“Do Not Disturb is a blood-soaked awakening not only for the film’s characters, but for horror fans just learning of Ainslie. With this, Ainslie has established himself as a director to watch with
hungry anticipation for the next nightmare.”
- Matt Konopka, Killer Horror Critic
‘Do Not Disturb’ Is Finger-Licking Good Cannibal Horror “…once the blood starts to flow, it doesn’t really stop. Chloe rips and chews flesh while moaning in pleasure. A man sobs while cradling his wife’s severed arm. It’s darkly hilarious. A man [in theatre] loudly declared, “what the fuck” towards the end of the film. That alone is a testament to how visceral the film is. Do Not Disturb starts out as a romantic comedy and ends as a “good for her” horror movie. It occupies two very distinct spaces and mashes them together into a nightmarish stew you can’t help but enjoy. Ainslie has made a delectable entry into the cannibal woman subgenre of horror that also serves as a magnifying glass on the damage inflicted by toxic relationships.” - Mary Beth McAndrews
Psychedelic Anarchy Is Unleashed in This Vacation Freakout "Do Not Disturb is a disturbed psycho-vacation freakout like the aftermath after Cupid went on an Ozzy Osbourne-sized bender. John Ainslie does a lot with minimal means: two lead actors, infected bite marks, maybe a severed limb or two. Kimberly Laferriere and Rogan Christopher don’t make the most of every moment but excel in the film’s most absurdly memorable setups. It’s a film that’s hard to pin down and all the better for its elusiveness, like a romantic comedy that fell in with the wrong (but right) horror crowd." – Matt Donato
A Twisted Tale of Love and Horror “John Ainslie crafts a film of unique bitterness, yet the horror is in what these people good-naturedly do to each other or allow the other to do to them. The dialogue between the leads has tenderness, shifts gear to exasperation manipulation, and finally, resignation between bites. Do Not Disturb is well-acted, written, and directed, making it a twisted film that is well worth a look. The dialogue hits close to home for many people who perhaps have lived a life of never growing up. A cruise into pleasure, gore, blood, and unexpected redemption awaits.” – Terry Sherwood
