Norman Gidney HorrorBuzz Culprit aspires to weave a sordid tale of small-town intrigue and secrets long buried. Sadly, it is so preoccupied with constructing an impenetrable mystery that the audience is essentially cheated. Rated: 5/10 Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Culprit is an old-school thriller that knows how to keep you on edge. Rated: 8/10 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X Culprit does have some things to say about rumor mills and mob violence, but its main power is in its consistent success from start to finish as a whodunit.

Cork B They tried, but this movie and the characters' motivations make no sense. There is some tense drama here and there, but then the scene just ends in some unlikely manner. And I have no idea if he did it or not, but geez shave and get a haircut will go a long way towards not looking like a creepy serial killer. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Mike M Culprit is a gripping and intense thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review Greg G I loved Culprit, as it keeps you guessing and great performances all around and stellar performance in particular by Laura Vale. The plot line moves quickly and the fast pace adds to the tension. As an audience member, it felt like I was tossed into the middle and feels slightly voyeuristic. Layered in flashbacks and memories, it is somewhat dreamy too. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review Simon F Excellent thriller! Keeps you guessing all the way till the end. Wonderful acting especially from the lead, beautifully filmed. Don’t miss this one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Jennifer S Plot isn’t awful but the sister and the father are painfully overacting. I’ve never posted a review but it’s pretty horrible. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review tm11999 M who-dun-it lets you think you know and then exposes the reals, then, da da daaaa. not too bad so it's ok to watch this.
