Critics Consensus

A frightening feature debut from Jacob Chase, Come Play makes up for its uneven tone by adding real depth to its jarring scares.

Leslie Felperin

Guardian

It's as if someone put the Slenderman meme, the scary girl from The Ring franchise, The Babadook and a few others through a woodchipper and sprayed the resulting mulch on to the screen.

Rated: 2/5

Sandra Hall

Sydney Morning Herald

There was so much fun to be had along the way. Chase takes his story much too seriously to entertain that proposition. It's suffused with an atmosphere of dogged naturalism, rooted so firmly in the everyday that fun might well be a foreign word.

Rated: 2.5/5

Chase turns up the volume and relies on jump scares to build the mood, but the frights barely leap out of the screen.

Despite not being excessively novel, it is quite effective and better finished than most... [Full review in Spanish]

The Digital Fix

Unlike the films it tries to draw upon, Come Play lacks the deep world-building and characterisation it needs to keep viewers intrigued.

Rated: 2/5

Even though he cannot speak, Oliver is exceptionally clever, fun, and brave, something I believe most of today's society doesn't think autistic kids can be.

This movie was not scary to me at all. The whole time I was wondering who was this movie made for?....Why did I leave my house to come see this movie? It may scare some children but not adults at all. This movie is truly PG-13. It is better to get this movie online and watch it with children under 12.
