Reception



'The Id' received favorable reviews, with much of the praise going towards the performance of Wyss, the direction, and writing. However, there is criticism towards the editing and score. Writing for 'Starburst' magazine, James Evans wrote that Wyss gives a "complex performance that anchors the film." Evans also highlighted the writing of Stewart and the direction of Hutson but was critical of the editing for becoming what he believed to be repetitive.

Mark L. Miller of the website Ain't It Cool News had similar praise for Wyss, stating her emotional performance "is what makes this film worth seeking out." In a review for 'Blu-ray', Dr. Stephen Larson criticized the editing by Marc Cardenas and narrative limitations set up by Hutson and Stewart. Larson describes the film as an "average horror feature."

Winner of Best Thriller at the 2016 Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival.
