What to Know

Critics Consensus

Aftershock hints at an inventive twist on horror tropes, but ultimately settles for another round of mind-numbing depravity that may alternately bore and revolt all but the most ardent gore enthusiasts.

This Dimension pickup is a hectic, sometimes hilarious guilty pleasure that should delight genre geeks. Go to Full Review

Was Aftershock just an elaborate ruse by writer-producer-star Eli Roth to justify an extended vacation to Chile? Go to Full Review

While hospitals send out anodyne statements that "every death is a tragedy" without taking responsibility, these families show in detail the emotional costs of systemic bias. Go to Full Review

In the age of premium TV and limitless web entertainment options, the one thing the movies still have going for them is Spectacle. Aftershock delivers spectacle-of the B-movie extraction, to be sure, but Spectacle nonetheless. Go to Full Review
Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See 07/08/2020
You have to give them credit for the way it was filmed, and for having the courage to tackle a disaster movie with a tiny budget, which just makes how terrible "Aftershock" is that much more of a disappointment.C- Go to Full Review

Ian H Nov 15 Bit hit and miss with a few horrible moments but diverting enough See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 23 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Michael O May 18 Painfully slow start before an excess of gore. You could be forgiven for thinking that the first 35 minutes or so was work to build up some emotional investment in the characters; something to give the eventual gore more impact. Instead, it's 35 minutes of wishing the disaster would kick in and spare you listening to them as they irritate each other and you. Horror has a low bar for "worth watching" these days, but this is still under it. See more Diana S 05/23/2024 Absolutely horrid. Should win an award for being impressively bad. It's like if Bowfinger made an Eli Roth movie. Just absolutely the worst. See more 10/17/2021 Feels like it takes forever to get to it but when it finally does... it's a crazy situation portrayed here with gore as the focal point. A lot of subtitles. See more 02/21/2021 Non si capisce bene cosa voglia diventare Aftershock. I primi minuti sono senza dubbio i migliori, grazie ad una fotografia interessante e piena di luce e colori; la presentazione dei personaggi si sofferma troppo sulle stesse (poche) caratteristiche che vengono alla luce. Una volta arrivato il colpo di scena, ci si divide con scarsi risultati tra survival movie, splatter e gangster. See more Read all reviews
