Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com If you operate under the belief that you can learn as much, maybe even more, from bad movies as you can from good ones, this one is a master class in what not to do. Rated: .5/4 Dec 9, 2016 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times The inexplicability of "Abattoir" keeps it engaging for a while, but by the time it hits the one-hour mark without anything even remotely exciting happening, even a horror connoisseur's patience will run thin. Dec 8, 2016 Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter While Bousman's climax is a not terribly original effects-laden haunted house, the house's builder, and his motives, have enough of their own flavor to please a hardened horror fan. Dec 8, 2016 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh A disappointing exploration of a somewhat interesting concept, and considering the story is based on a comic book, some of the story’s effectiveness was lost in translation. Rated: 2/5 May 12, 2023 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Abattoir is a dark fairy tale feeling film that is slower and less flashy than what some may have come to expect from Darren Lynn Bousman but it's most definitely good. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 19, 2020 Full Review Kat Hughes THN An intelligent and stylish macabre tale straight out of the world of Lovecraft or Poe, Abattoir will keep the grey matter working until the closing moments. Rated: 3/5 Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Emilliano Jr S Its not scary. I'm expecting for jump scares but half way through I felt so boring. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Liam D Darren Lynn Bousman (11-11-11, The Barrens) adapts his own comic book into a stylish noir ish Thriller with some surprising shocks Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/26/22 Full Review Audience Member A premissa parecia ótima, mistério integrante, toda a inicialização perfeita, entretanto o desenrolar ficou confuso, insosso e pouco significativo, comumente os filmes de terror são realmente sem pé nem cabeça, porém aqui tínhamos um ótimo roteiro, porém mais escutados e um péssimo desfecho... Início ótimo, do meio para o fim cansativo e bobinho... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The concept of the movie was good too bad it was executed very poorly. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member The idea behind the movie was exciting, unfortunately the movie was not. With so many possible rooms to build a story around, only a few were seen. The fuzzy effects took away any fear factor and the character building was lacking so didn't really care about anyone. Shame really as I had high hopes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Consider your least favorite Nightmare on Elm Street movie, take out all the laughs and scary scenes and you get this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/18 Full Review Read all reviews
