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.

Very, very ordinary.

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

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

The Movie Cricket

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.

Rated: 3.5/4

Battleship Pretension

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.

The Last Thing I See

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-

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

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

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.

Absolutely horrid. Should win an award for being impressively bad. It's like if Bowfinger made an Eli Roth movie. Just absolutely the worst.

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.

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.

A decent disaster flick with gore could be a good idea, unfortunately this one fails pretty miserably. When it ends you end up with the feeling of what’s the point of it really?? Along with the horror of an earthquake is bad enough do we really need to gross it up with rapists etc Selena Gomez also turns up for 10 seconds for some reason????
