Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle 11/12/2020
2/5
The end result is like a Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol production with all the ghoulish payoff that suggests, just with more wakka-wakka comedy than metaphysical angst. Go to Full Review
Bee Delores B-Sides & Badlands 10/09/2024
3.5/5
It Cuts Deep is delightful and crude, a film with lean but fatty meat, and while it takes 20 minutes to rev up its engines, the second half burns some serious rubber and delivers quite a psychotic 1-2 punch. Go to Full Review
Steven Warner In Review Online 06/05/2021
[It Cuts Deep is an] insulting and reductive film that paints men as commitment-phobe monsters and women as marriage-starved shrews. Go to Full Review
Daniel M. Kimmel North Shore Movies 11/20/2020
1/5
The most notable thing about the film is how shallow it is. Go to Full Review
Michael Ward Should I See It 11/19/2020
3/5
Maximizing a small budget, and efficiently working through its steps, you may see where It Cuts Deep is headed well before the characters do. Go to Full Review

Karl H May 16 This indie comedy is a surprisingly entertaining watch that makes the most of its budget. Set during a snowy Christmas getaway, it follows a young couple’s relationship as it’s tested by commitment fears and the arrival of a charming outsider. With solid performances and just enough emotional tension, it delivers a simple yet engaging story that proves you don’t need a big budget to tell a compelling tale. See more Andrew B May 15 I really enjoyed this one, especially as someone dealing with this same kind of stuff. Feels like not enough movies, especially in this genre, deal with this time in people's lives-- moving into real adulthood, contemplating marriage, kids, commitment, and "settling down", while struggling to understand and address your own trauma and issues. Then you fall in love with someone completely different than you and it turns everything on its head. How do you juggle ambition and disappointment and your own screwedupness with starting a life and family with another person? This digs into that question, while wrapping it in comedy and horror to raise the stakes and make us laugh (often uncomfortably). Special shout out to performances from Quinn Jackson, who seems like an actor to watch out for, and the unhinged dynamic between Nolan and Sam. See more James K May 15 A shaky micro-budget indie that nailed the landing. Well-made and grounded. The leads were great. The couple’s early dynamic was hilarious but a little bit unbelievable. The friendship felt genuine. Some rough edges, but that’s life. More real than most big-budget stuff. The horror was creepy but oddly funny. Worth a one-time watch. See more Janet F 12/03/2022 It is just very cringeworthy. The main couple has absolutely no chemistry. In fact no one has chemistry in this movie. It is like a group of the most awkward people just trying way too hard to like each other and interact. The concept held some promise but nothing lived up to it at all. See more @c0urtn3y 07/31/2022 as soon as i started watching this i realized i had seen it before but couldn't remember it enough to rate/review it - so i watched it again. surprisingly. since it was a kind of painful. the dialog/acting is like watching a high school play & the story isn't that great. i don't think i'd recommend this one. See more 02/14/2022 This is the kind of little horror movie that you wait years for. I liked this movie so much I watched it two times in a row in one night!?? See more Read all reviews
