What the critics say

Critics call Connect genuinely well-crafted horror, with immersive camerawork, strong sound design and natural performances led by Haniya Nafisa, though several find the story familiar, the spirit's motive unexplained and the emotional payoff falling short.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 3 readings; 1 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
