Noel Murray

Los Angeles Times

A lively, impassioned and only slightly exaggerated take on how some people use anti-immigrant sentiment to distract from their own monstrous crimes.

AV Club

The film doesn’t reach the stylistic or narrative highs of its obvious predecessor, but if it’s not quite Get Out, the Hallivis Brothers translate issues facing Hispanic Americans to a horror scenario well worth getting into.

Rated: B

American Carnage is a relevant political horror film wrapped in a satirical comedy.

Rated: 7/10

An interesting Latino spin on Jordan Peele’s Get Out, American Carnage blends horror, comedy, and political messages to create an entertaining story with an important moral core.

Rated: 3/5

Though the film targets the right bad guys, it poorly tells its story.

For a while, it seems to be succeeding. But then the film resets itself once, and then again, and ultimately pivots far away from what it was doing well.

Rated: 2/5

Train wreck of forced acting, poor story telling, and cringy scenes. The only thing saving it from a 0 star review is the moral values behind it which have mud shovelled on them due to the poor standard of the movie.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

The worst movie I've seen in a while. It started off well but quickly became ridiculous and overly exaggerated, straying far from reality. Overall, it's a bad film with forced acting.

What a weird way to deal with illegal immigration. Partly poking fun at far right and partly a gore fest, Carnage doesn't really ever land anywhere.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
