Brad Miska of Bloody Disgusting wrote that Twitch "...quickly established itself as the online world's leading source for international, independent, cult, arthouse and genre film news, review and discussion."[5] He also wrote: "Over the years I have become increasingly impressed by what Todd Brown has done with Twitch Film, he has cornered the market for all edgy international releases and has given life to foreign films that might never have seen the light here in the States."[5] Ain't It Cool News has linked to Twitch Film pages on multiple occasions and UGO.com quoted a Twitch editor among its list of "critics" at its appearance at Sundance 2010.[6][7] [8]
ScreenAnarchy has a large body of writers who reside in most major film markets in the world, including the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Australia and the United Kingdom.[9]
