Clint Worthington RogerEbert.com For good and ill, “Hold the Fort” has big Feature-Length Cracked Video energy, leaning hard into big, broad laughs and over-the-top gore with the kind of devil-may-care glee you need for low-budget productions like this. Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Caitlin Kennedy Simply Cinema (Substack) Hold the Fort has a fantastical quality that is a perfect match of its scrappy effects and intimate cast. Rated: 5/10 Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Hold the Fort is a tight horror comedy that wastes no time getting to the red stuff and the humor, manages to maintain these going throughout and make for a fun time for all. Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Matt Donato Daily Dead Hold the Fort is unserious, slapstick, and often corny as heck, but when it counts, you’ll be delighted by the violent attacks and cheesy zingers that would make Bruce Campbell grin. Rated: 3/5 Aug 8, 2025 Full Review Bee Delores B-Sides & Badlands With his new film, Hold the Fort, writer/director William Bagley taps into a deep well of modern terrors with an eye for situational and physical gags. Rated: 3/5 Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Joey Keogh Wicked Horror Hold the Fort might be small but it’s mighty, making it abundantly clear Bagley is one of the most exciting and innovative filmmakers working in the indie horror space today.
