        It’s just a long music video

        "I thought this would be full length. Shows me eh. Not the best thing in my collection and compared to other Yellow Veil releases it’s not very tood"

        — Jesse M. (1/5)

        The Runner

        "Had to get it as I collect YVP as I like their releases. Experimenatl horror music video. Interesting extras."

        — Hansi L. (4/5)

        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."
