Critics Consensus

It wears its influences on its sleeve, but Bad Turn Worse still boasts more than enough pulpy thrills to justify its place at the table.

Corny Texas crime drama that felt like a B-movie in the end.

Fairly short but interesting from the start. We know where the plot is going from fairly early on but there's enough twists along the way to make it interesting. Lead performances are excellent as is the dynamic between them. Well produced as well with a neat soundtrack. Whilst not outstanding, it deserves a wider audience than it has had to date.

They say that the friends you make in school will be your friends for life. The film Bad Turn Worse explores these bonds and shows just how tight they can be. B.J. (Logan Huffman) is your typical Texas High School senior, who is more concerned with meeting the right people, and getting a good job, then he is about going to college, which present a problem in regards to his best friend and girlfriend, who are both headed towards university. B.J. wants to leave his friends on a high note, and decides in order to accomplish this, he needs to "borrow" some money from his shady boss. What B.J. doesn't know is just how connected his boss really is, and once it's discovered that he took the money, his life, and the lives of his two closest friends end up being in jeopardy. Logan Huffman stars and fails to follow up on the success he had in his debut film, Underdogs. In that film, Huffman looked like he would be the next big thing in Hollywood, but playing a dim-witted character in a somewhat anti-climatic story didn't do him any favors. He is paired with Jeremy Allan White, better known as Lip, in the hit series Shameless. I was hoping to see him open up and show some range with this role, but the truth is he was just playing the same character, a highly intelligent young adult who makes poor choices. As far as the story goes, it was pretty interesting, but there are too many breaks in the main story, which distract you from the big picture. There is a lot of discussion and strains on the groups friendship, which pop up at the absolute worse times and pretty much stop the film dead in it's tracks. Bad Turn Worse really did feature a pretty good story, with a ton of up and coming young Hollywood talent. It's very appealing in many ways, but also disappointing in others.

Bad Turn Worse is a taut noir tale, bolstered by a trio of excellent lead performances and a well-plotted script.

Rated: 3/4

Entertainment Weekly

Directors Zeke and Simon Hawkins add air-quote references to Jim Thompson, Steven Soderbergh, and the Coen brothers but are too proud of the movie's twists to make them truly snap.

A shambles of stereotypes and predictable plot points. ... However, there's something special and almost good in Bad Turn Worse.

Rated: 2.5/5

CineVue

A largely groanworthy independent offering which is severely lacking in the pulpy charms it so desperately tries to emulate.

Rated: 2/5

The Film Stage

A taut thriller with assured performances from its central core, the film eventually finds itself exactly where logic would expect it to be.

It has a humid sense of place, a few effective twists, and most importantly a terrific primary villain.
