Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Knuckeball is a well-executed thriller unafraid to embrace is violent darkness or put its child lead in peril. Brutal, bloody, and full of surprises, this one is a flawed but entertaining ride. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail Ironside... excellently exudes an old-man smell and no-nonsense-allowed temperament. Rated: 3/4 Oct 12, 2018 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety While you're watching, helmer Michael Peterson effectively earns suspension of disbelief with stark atmospherics, solid performances and a persuasive escalation of panic. Oct 6, 2018 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse A story of secrets and cruelty carefully crafted to accentuate the thrills and not the plot holes. Rated: 3/5 Mar 1, 2021 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The film uses the darkness in people and creates something chilling, using the capacities of its cast to their best. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 11, 2020 Full Review Paul Freitag-Fey Daily Grindhouse A very welcome entry into the "home invasion" subgenre. Aug 2, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Crimson W una suerte de Home alone más adulta con sus toques de Home invasion Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/22/24 Full Review Everett S I agree with the critics this was a hidden gem!! The kid in this film was quite resourceful and cunning!! Great twists and pretty good gore!!! This film is worthy of attention I'd recommend this movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review David G Solid. Not perfect. But a couple of good twists. The Home Alone references are oblivious but this is set in a more realistic world. Where you can beleive it might happen. Absolutely no child like comedy here. Good dramatic horror, with a multiple twists. Some you don't realize until you think back. Leaves plenty of unanswered questions that spark conversation when it is all done. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/24 Full Review Stefanie l This movie was surprisingly good. It started out a little slow but ended in a bang! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Sean D High tension, scary as hell ride! One of the best thrillers I've seen! It's like a hardcore version of home alone Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review brad p ‘Knuckleball' Turns ‘Home Alone' Into Deadly Thriller Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
