3.5/5
Mean Spirited is that gem we spend literal hours sifting for, and even with some challenges, it’s a fun, funny, and genuinely scary film with some clever angles that elevate it from the pack. Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 02/13/2023
Mean Spirited disappoints as both an unfunny satire and unscary thriller... Go to Full Review

A smart, savvy entry into the found footage genre. Go to Full Review

5.0/10
Jeff Ryan’s Mean Spirited voices relevant and vile concerns about social media soullessness, but its commentary is neutered by shaky execution. Go to Full Review
Peter Gray The AU Review 09/01/2022
3.5/5
Mean Spirited is a purposefully awkward comedic scarer that furthers (Jeff) Ryan’s hold as a filmmaker unafraid to put his ego aside for the sake of entertainment. Go to Full Review
Martin Unsworth Starburst 08/29/2022
3/5
Using the obnoxious vlogger approach, Mean Spirited raises slightly above the usual found footage movie. Go to Full Review

Christian C Sep 3 “iTS jUsT iDiOcRACy iN aCtIoNnNn!!” Lol, ^^^ the people saying that are the same ones who voted for Camacho in the first place. So, when someone tells you that you “just didn’t get the smart horror movies,” then yeah… You probably just didn’t get it, haha. See more James B Mar 29 Just all around awful. Like a bunch of high school kids making a class film. For everyone wondering why it reviewed so well - it is idiocracy in action. Appealing to the lowest common denominator and the dumbest people works now because they’re in the majority. They’ll drool and clap and write reviews on here saying “so good! It was scary!” Adam Sandler figured that out turn of the century. See more Dave C 07/20/2024 One of the worst films u cd imagine. Every cliche. Stupid story. Bad acting. Self-indulgent. Awful. Avoid at all costs. See more Elise S 06/11/2024 Literally one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I have NO CLUE how it got the ratings it has. See more Diedre F 06/28/2023 Great film! Super fun, scary... had me feeling on edge all the way through. See more Spencer Z 03/19/2023 A fresh take on found footage horror with funny commentary on Hollywood, YouTube and childhood friendships. See more Read all reviews
