Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review
Some may call this episode one that lacks major innovation or twists, and it may admittedly be in some way overshadowed by next week's anticipated mystery to come, even this story feels in some way indebted to this particular unknown. However "Curse of the Ninth" is a tremendously well made and delivered horror story, with the central character being morally tortured and pushed by his passions but afflicted by his regrets, and the story escalating nicely, after opening with a literal bang, and concluding with a genuinely scary crescendo
Jack Bottomley, Starburst Magazine, 6th June 2024Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review
What Curse of the Ninth does show is that Shearsmith and Pemberton are never short on ambition and even after all this time still prepared to try something different and never coast.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 5th June 2024Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review
The penultimate episode fails to resonate.
David Craig, Radio Times, 5th June 2024Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review
A deliciously gothic tale in the style of Edgar Allan Poe and MR James, The Curse Of The Ninth is a quintessential episode of Inside No. 9.
Nick Bartlett, Critical Popcorn, 5th June 2024Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review
Inside No. 9's penultimate story is an elegant, Edwardian-set M.R. James homage.
