      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Excessive and gory, this remake lacks the intellectual punch of the 1972 original.

      Arturs L Tense and bloody revenge/house invasion horror thriller. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Wilddonkeyz Not the best movie I've watched but it definitely kept my attention....also that ending!!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/01/23 Full Review Farah E I really liked this movie ever since it came out. I thought the actors did a good job and it was realistic. Had a good balance of horror, gore and revenge. I didn't think the SA scene was overdone and unnecessary either. Overall good watch. A very good and paced movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Marlo A Awesome remake! The original is still one of my all time favorite cult classics, but this one comes really close. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Cody N Very good story. Flawed but good. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review Gemma H Boring, really struggled to get through the whole film. Wouldn't ever try watching again as it was just plain terrible. I saw this one before the original. I have never seen the original and after watching this I'm not sure I could.

      Nathan Lee NPR Director Dennis Iliadis polishes up Craven's template to a lethal shine. Apr 24, 2020 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out By dismembering Craven's landmark extremities, Iliadis celebrates his source for all the wrong reasons. Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out Dennis Iliadis's remake retains its ferocious power and provocative themes, and thanks to a focused script that unfolds in real time, it ratchets up the suspense and sucks us into a remorseless cycle of violence and revenge. Rated: 4/5 Jun 12, 2009 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Suffice it to say the film concerns itself more with doing Craven justice than any Swedish poets, medieval or filmic. Rated: 2/4 Dec 2, 2023 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed It’s well shot, well edited, the effects are stellar, the performances are solid, but it is a brutal film (for better or for worse) that not all will want to watch. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast While this remake or Craven's 1972 classic is by no means watered down, it takes a different approach to the premise that allows it to stand on its own. Rated: 4.5/5 Dec 30, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
