Its not scary. I'm expecting for jump scares but half way through I felt so boring.

It was the slowest most boring movie I believe I've ever seen. I really love the actors in this movie but this was not their best work. No point, no plot, terrible ending!!

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...

The concept of the movie was good too bad it was executed very poorly.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
