What to Know

Critics Consensus

Becky isn't quite able to sustain enough intensity to fully take advantage of its premise, though it serves up entertainingly nasty thrills for genre fans.

Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review 10/08/2020
It has a certain retro throwback pleasure for anyone still longing for the days of VHS...squishy gore effects, a nostalgic charm... Go to Full Review
Cath Clarke Guardian 09/24/2020
2/5
The lesson here is don't mess with the inner rage of a teenage girl. But Becky's crazed kills get more and more gimmicky, and there's nothing in the script to indicate what has turned her into a pint-sized death-dealer. Go to Full Review
Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) 09/09/2020
This is a film of gimmicks, most of them rather tired. Go to Full Review
Paul Lê Nightmare on Film Street 07/20/2023
8/10
On the whole, Becky is a well-paced and action-driven distraction with an unlikely hero. It's a perfect vehicle for its two leads, who are certainly suited for these kind of out-of-the-box roles. Go to Full Review
Kristy Strouse Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying 06/18/2023
While not entirely original, the violent revelry imbued in Becky's core and the terrific lead performance make it a worthy watch. Go to Full Review

Starla R Nov 22 Really dumb movie. Why do comedians think they would be good actors, or at least good serious actors?! Sorry, buy Kevin James did not come off as scary or intimidating at all, they thought, well let's slap a swastika on his head, that'll make him seem like this scary dude.. Nope! Lol It was not scary in the least, I actually thought this was a comedy at one point lol The storyline is really bad, along with the dialog, acting, and the really tired and played out home alone plot. The actress playing Becky, very hard to watch, no emotional range, her father is killed right in front of her and she doesn't shed one tear? Just goes off and pouts..this was especially bizarre since they kept showing us how supposedly devastated she was over her mother dying. Overall, this was all over the place, nothing felt believable, and you were only rooting for the dog by the end. By the way, we see you "critics", we see how you're paid by studios to make fake positive reviews..you are now making yourself and your profession obsolete because of your own greed. You have no shame...same goes for sites like Rotten Tomatoes, claiming to be a place to get legit ratings when most of the positive audience reviews are fake...too many getting away with scamming nowadays... See more Dave C Oct 11 I've seen it a long time ago. I enjoyed it then, and I enjoyed it again recently. Whilst the relationships between characters aren't the strongest, it is the relationship between protagonist and antagonist that make this movie. Given the years between them, you'd expect there to a chasm separating their performances, but there really isn't. KJ delivers a solid performance as the 'baddy', with LW doing well to feel her way in her own skin, and bringing her own level of nasty to the vindictive revenge she seeks. Looking forward to watching the sequel, hoping for a more well-rounded character in Becky, and a stronger story See more Kyle E @Plady Sep 21 While the movie has some logic leaps, it's a fun and bloody revenge thriller See more Hector Adrian Q Sep 14 Awesome 👍😎 Movie 🍿🎥 Great job 👏👍🥂 See more Lavish C Jul 27 If you belong to those who can shut off the brain completely to enjoy nonsense for the sake of it, you might find the idea of a gory version of "Home Alone" entertaining despite the irredeemable amount of nonsense. I'll highlight just few, in random order: - the convicts are initially shown as extremely dangerous and evil, yet once they are in her home ALL of them with no exception exude zero scary vibe whatsoever. On the contrary they look rather cartoonish, and tonally out of place for what would be a credible behavior from such kind of people. - yet they still are CLEARLY dangerous, so why does her brother enthusiastically say "we're going for Becky!" like he's informing his friendly neighbors, after his mother CLEARLY just lied to hide Becky's existence? - the leader of the gang hears a noise, finds the window open, and just looks outside without looking below or at the sides? FFS, are you a villain who's under pressure to find something or are you playing seek and hide with your kids and pretending that you want to find them? - suddenly, he does the ONE thing that he absolutely should have not done: he kills her father in front of her after his most dependable teammate had CLEARLY said "no more kills", when he had ZERO reasons to kill him, because he could have EASILY overpowered or threatened him or shot his leg. - ALL OF THEM should be strong, with sharp killer instincts developed from years of street violence and prison fights. They organized a prison kill to get transported somewhere else and managed to escape overpowering several ARMED guards. Yet suddenly once they are with this family they are stupid, slow, have ZERO tactical and strategic thinking, get easily pushed down with just a little push from a 13 y/o girl or from her tied-up father who despite being just a weak nobody manages to quickly stun the giant wrestler with one hit in the face from which the giant takes 30 seconds to recover from, while the leader gets pushed to the floor and struggles like a Panda to get on his feet again???? WTF!? Is this a home invasion horror thriller or a parody? - the dog hater goes to Becky's tree house to get the mysterious key from her. He has a gun. Opens the door, sees the dog. He hates dogs and already killed one but this time he closes the door and calmly asks Becky for the key, almost politely actually, instead of shooting the dog!? Then she throws the key (actually just a coin) and he, who's been a complete psycho until now, very calmly comments "nice throw" and goes to search the key leaving the kid with room to escape, instead of getting angry, taking out the gun and threatening the kid with killing her dog if she doesn't come don and find the key!!!!??? Hello!? Then she gets on this EXTREMELY LOUD thing to jump on him, which takes LITERALLY (I counted) FIFTEEN seconds until she hits him, including 5 seconds of loud angry scream, and yet the dude is completely oblivious and reacts (very goofy) only at the last millisecond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????? There's more. MUCH more. Including absolutely PATHETIC LAUGHABLE generic motivations from the "gentle giant" to let her escape. It's a shame. This had SO MUCH potential. But was handled SO INCREDIBLY BAD, with so much superficiality and carelessness. They made a second and are making a third. DELUSIONAL! I've read the synopsis of the second. Just the first paragraph is the epitome of nonsense bad writing. See more Js S Apr 30 Kevin james needs to stick to comedy.. As usual the idiot critics rate completely different to everyone else.
