Reviews
Experimental horror
"The Runner (2022), directed by Jae Matthews and Augustus Muller (the duo behind Boy Harsher), is an experimental horror-music hybrid that plays more like a surreal extended music video than a traditional film. The Runner is best understood as a visual companion to Boy Harsher’s music rather than a standalone horror film. It’s stylish, unsettling, and musically immersive, but its fragmented narrative may leave casual viewers cold. For fans of darkwave, experimental cinema, or Lynchian atmospherics, it’s a fascinating cult artifact."
— Tarek E. (3/5)
The Runner Blu Ray review
"Huge Boy Harsher fan so this was a no brainer. The title the runner is the same as their soundtrack, this is the actual film that score is based on. Great features too including music videos."

Pretty interesting project which combies
"Pretty interesting project which combies documentary and horror films and music. Loved the music and I enjoyed the characters. The extras have a whole bunch of music videos so that was a bonus. A home run from Yellow Veil."
