Critics Consensus

Body at Brighton Rock leaves some of its thrilling potential untapped, but the end result remains a solidly crafted outing that should entertain horror fans.

Chris G

Occasionally tense and a little foreboding, a great story and a mesmerizing setting directed well ultimately doesn't amount to much beyond a bear fight that probably puts Leo's to shame.

I was a Park Ranger so I was willing to give this movie a chance because it involved Rangers. It may be the worst movie I've seen in the last decade. Astonishingly bad.

A stupid summer employee gets lost in the woods, miles away from where she was supposed to be. Unless I'm forgetting a viewing, this will likely be my worst film I viewed of the year. Poorly acted. Worse story. Stupid character. The writers should look up what a bear attack is. And many of the reviewers on RT also reviewed the director's next film positively. Hmm....

A good twist at the end but the beginning of the movie was really boring

What on earth did I watch? The writing is laughable. The main character is so incompetent as a park ranger/outdoor explorer I was almost rooting for something to get her. It was laughable how bad this movie was.

The writing and acting from some of the performers felt amateurish at times. The more interesting plot points (like the portions involving Red) were over very quickly, while sequences such as the poster-hanging and the dancing through the woods at the beginning dragged on. The bear element would have been more intriguing had it been emphasized as more of a threat earlier on. In all, the film had potential, but ultimately fell short of my expectations.

[Benjamin] nails that cheapo retro aesthetic with a story that's thematically richer and much more interesting than one might expect for the genre.

Rated: 2.5/4

Slant Magazine

Appearing to recognize the flimsiness of her material, Roxanne Benjamin overcompensates with insistent direction.

Benjamin doesn't quite succeed in demonstrating her premise that life-or-death situations can empower an unwilling victim to become an unexpected hero.

Body at Brighton Rock is a great psychological thriller that reminds us what our real enemy is.

Fontes is convincing and likable as the ditzy lost park ranger and that was a good enough reason for me to enjoy it.
