[An] ambitious but overstuffed fantasy thriller...

Film Threat

Broil overcomes a slow start to become an entertaining family drama/fantasy/horror tale by the end.

Rated: 6/10

Ready Steady Cut

Lavish teen-based melodrama about growing up in the middle of a dynastic coup. And dinner. I'd rather have one or the other.

Rated: 2.5/5

On a technical level Broil is excellent but sadly the film is let down by poor plotting and structure. It's a shame because I really wanted to like it.

Rated: 2.5/5

Eye for Film

Full of high Gothic drama and psychological games, Broil is more interested in grotesque ideas than gory displays.

Rated: 3.5/5

Broil fails at the most fundamental of levels, and rather than being the pomp fantasy horror, or the edgy vampire-killer thriller it could have been, it is just a mess.

Rated: 1/5

Disconnected plot and story elements that led to nothing. It was clear something went wrong in production and they couldn’t get the ending they wanted. The aforementioned killer-for-hire is a great basis for a character but we’re giving little of substance for the entire film.

I absolutely loved the movie! The plot was intriguing, the characters were well-developed, and the visual effects were stunning. I found myself fully immersed in the story from start to finish. It was so good that I am already hoping for a sequel. I can't wait to see what happens next in this world and with these characters. Overall, it was a fantastic movie experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great film to watch.

I'll give this movie kudos for being unique and sorta marching to the beat of its own drum. I can appreciate that. However it was a bit too far out and kinda stupid for my liking.

Surprising with good mystery and suspense horror throughout, despite jumping around a bit, as well as plenty of twists to keep you guessing up until the end.

One of the better horror movies that I have seen in a couple years. Quirky characters and story along with some brutality mixed with humor and an offbeat story. A very good watch...
