“Expert storytelling and skillful direction by Lee makes House of Ashes a scathing, nightmarishly relevant commentary on the way society views women and the control that men try to maintain over them. Ultimately, the film is a haunting, thought-provoking examination of what it’s like to be a woman in America and a thrilling feature film debut. Izzy Lee’s films should be on everyone’s watchlist.”

— Michelle Swope, Bloody Disgusting

​

“With a single location and a limited cast, Lee tells a terrifying story about modern gaslighting and the oppressive experience of having your body shoved under a microscope by the patriarchy. House of Ashes is smart, freaky, and gorgeous, proof that Lee is only just getting started.”

— MaryBeth McAndrews, Dread Central

​

“House of Ashes offers a scathing commentary on the country’s current political climate, and is a battle cry for change. As such, House of Ashes manages to do what all great horror films do – juggle moments of dread and tension alongside important analysis of life. If just one person’s viewpoint is shifted by watching this film, Lee’s hard work will be worth it.

 

Strong voices in search of change are vital in filmmaking and Lee’s voice is one whose words should be heeded.” 

— Kat Hughes, The Hollywood News

​

“Izzy Lee has a bright future ahead.”

— Martin Unsworth, Starburst Magazine

 

“Lee's ability to invoke terror on multiple levels is palpable”

— Rebecca Sayce, Film Hounds
