Marsha McCreadie RogerEbert.com "Jug Face" is not uniformly polished, yet it's a breakthrough, not so much for gore, or terror, but because the director can truly do tension, maybe a harder trick to pull off. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 13, 2013 Full Review Farran Smith Nehme New York Post This morbid, cruel movie seems leached of all things that might inadvertently give viewers pleasure. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 9, 2013 Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times Some low-budget manifestations of the supernatural jazz up the frights now and again, but as the novelty of worshiping a hole in the ground fades, the film paints itself into a corner. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 8, 2013 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Jug Face is a weird little film certainly worth a look, and its writer/director is certainly a talent to keep track of. Aug 22, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Has a chilling atmosphere. Rated: C Feb 4, 2016 Full Review Scott Weinberg TheHorrorShow A bizarre but consistently creepy tale of bad religion, bad spirits, and very bad behavior. Aug 24, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Oaklee D As hillbilly backwoods as a horror film can get, this movie is delightfully twisted. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review Cole S This movie was extremely low budget and terrible acting. The story itself was awful. Genuinely a horrible film. I don't understand how it's 76% fresh. Kind of makes rotten tomatoes seem like a joke. Watch if you don't trust me but you're waisting your time if you do . Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Brad S. R An interesting premise that, alas, devolves into yet another low-budget, self-consciously "arty" horror flick. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Alivia N this movie sucks and is frankly boring. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Hugo S A backwoods community worships a pit in the forest. Sacrifices take place in this cult to safeguard its divine protection. A pregnant girl is doomed to be the next sacrifice and soon the movie becomes a cult escape flick. "Jug Face" does not deliver a convincing gothic heroine nor does it succeed in exploring the belief system shared by this community. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/23 Full Review omg p There is a community of cultists living in the woods worshiping the mud pit. It is disturbing, twisted and intense and also ridiculous, but it works mainly because of surprisingly good acting. Altough this movie is low budget, camera and sound was good. If you don't mind slow burn horror movies I recommend. It's like Lovecraft meets The Wicker Men meets 40k's chaos. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
