I apologize for the recent rash of exclamation points in my titles.  How else am I supposed to communicate my excitement!!!!!

Here’s Jason Coffman at FilmMonthly.com:

Perhaps the film’s greatest strength is in its portrayal of what ordinary people might do under inexplicable circumstances (helped tremendously by excellent lead performances by Andreev and Feeney), and its heartbreaking observation that sometimes getting what we most want may be the worst thing that can happen to us. Phasma Ex Machina is one of the best films I’ve seen this year, and is the best filmmaking debut I’ve seen in quite some time.

And this one is from allthingshorroronline.com:

Unlike Tom, Cody is still mired in grief, and does not acquiesce – his goal is to bring back his parents. And maybe it worked – Cody and James are starting to hear things in the house. Footsteps. Shadows. Glimpses of people in their home. Eventually, Tom gets used to having his lovely wife back, while Cody’s not so lucky. It’s not his parents who are back home. It’s a couple far more sinister.  Without giving anything away, there’s a race to protect James, while Tom will stop at nothing to keep his wife.
… 
Phasma Ex Machina is a deftly-wrought drama with a science fiction backbone and a splash of the supernatural. There are some genuine moments of dread, and discovering these in cinema is what every horror lover lives for.
