Failure! follows James (Ted Raimi - The Quarry, Ash v Evil Dead, Creepshow) who has a big debt with the bank and is given one hour to choose between financial ruin or murder in order to protect his family. As the hour progresses he finds his home and phone invaded by multiple characters pulling him in different directions, gradually adding to his distress and his unravelling. But who is real and who isn't?

Failure! is a failed experiment that grates more than it excites.

Eye for Film

It’s a gem of a role for Raimi, who delivers the smooth talk and captures the high flying businessman look perfectly but shows us the human being behind them.

Rated: 3.5/5

Cinema Crazed

Overall, Failure! is not entirely bad, but it has issues and the way it is filmed and put together is not agreeable.

Rated: 3/5

A tour-de-force performance by Ted Raimi combines with some brilliant camera play to make Failure! an absorbing one-take wonder that keeps the viewer guessing.

Rated: 4/5

Morbidly Beautiful

The entire weight of the film rests upon the effectiveness of Ted Raimi's performance and his ability to emotionally invest viewers in his every move. Make no mistake; he absolutely nails it, ensuring the exquisitely orchestrated FAILURE! is anything but.

Rated: 5/5

Movies and Munchies (YouTube)

There’s a very intriguing character study hidden in here somewhere, but the director seemed a little more keen on figuring out how to accomplish the gimmicky one-take rather than developing the narrative to be nuanced and impactful.

Rated: 2.5/5
