“Not many others I know are doing anything remotely as good as [Maude Michaud] is on this level, and for a talented filmmaker like Maude there is nothing to do but keep that star rising so listen to me now and believe me later – this is a woman to watch, support, and jump on the bandwagon for right now!”
(Craig McGee, Horror News)
“Maude Michaud is celebrated as one of the brightest filmmakers on the independent scene, and for very good reason. One such reason is her short film RED. […] Just another shining example of independent film making in the horror genre, RED is one hell of a film.”
(Justin Hamelin, Cup of Stars)

“A fraught relationship drama, a medical thriller, a graphic and disturbing horror film — Maude Michaud’s debut feature film is all of these, as it approaches a now all-too-familiar theme from a surprising and effective new angle. (…) The approach invests this simple but effective huis clos with a naturalism and authenticity that are quick to take hold and very hard to shake.”
(Rupert Bottenberg, Fantasia International Film Festival)
“Dys- establishes Michaud as one of the most exciting new voices both in horror and in Canadian cinema overall. Brace yourselves for Dys-.”
(Cellar Door Film Festival)
“Maude Michaud proves herself a bold risk-taker with the unflinching gut-punch of Dys- and she shows a daring hand at genre, atmosphere, offscreen violence, and body horror.”
(Pat Mullen, Cinemablographer)
“Michaud is a young woman with a phenomenal ability to craft stomach churning visuals and her future is bright indeed.”
(Mike Snoonian, Film Thrills)
“With some startling dream sequences and a constant sense of unease, Dys- is a confident debut from Michaud both from a directing and writing aspect, capped by a killer twisted final line.”
(Ian Sandwell, The Horror Show.tv)
“Disturbing as it is smart, emotional as it is lethal, powerful as it is visceral, Dys- gives something to all viewers and treats them with maturity and insanity at the same time.”
(Jay Kay, From Dusk Till Con)
“Dys- literally hits the nail on the head when it comes to the subject of a woman's place in the modern world we live in, and how little things have really changed over the past hundred years and more!”
(Jennifer Cooper, Jennifer’s Bodies)
“I'll be keeping an eye out for more work from Maude Michaud, for her debut effort was pretty damn solid.”
