| WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING |
| ““Booger showcases Dauterman’s budding senses as a filmmaker.” – ROGER EBERT ONLINE “If you don’t gag at least once watching Mary Dauterman’s feature debut Booger, then you’re probably doing it wrong.” – IN THE SEATS “Dauterman wisely uses genre elements to visualize and augment the often visceral impact of maintaining (and losing) close female friendships.” – BLOODY DISGUSTING “Dauterman’s feature debut is a must-watch for horror connoisseurs who prefer horror films that make them think” -COLLIDER “Equally as funny as it is horrific” – COMICBOOK.COM “Mary Dauterman’s sensational debut feature” – THE MOVEABLE FEAST “What sets Booger apart are Dauterman’s unique perspective and Glowicki’s amazing performance as a woman teetering on the edge of sanity – and occasionally toppling over” – SCREEN ANARCHY |
