The practical effects and grotesque puppet design are appealing... But inconsistent performances and contradictory characterizations make it difficult to invest in the real-world stakes.

Rated: 5/10

Set in 1993, with a VHS aesthetic and gory practical effects to match, Mr. Crocket spins millennial nostalgia into a perfectly passable supernatural parable.

Rated: 3/5

Mr. Crocket is a good Halloween horror movie and a concept to start a cool Hulu franchise if it’s given the opportunity. This could be a fun watch for you on October 31st.

Modest but full of ideas, Mr. Crocket is a horror noir that turns a Bill Cosby type into a Freddy Krueger for those with '90s nostalgia. [Full review in Spanish]

"Mr. Crocket" has a fun concept. It sadly never does anything with it.

Film Focus Online

Equal parts fun and frightening with a fantastic lead performance and cool practical effects, Mr. Crocket injects some colour and humour into the genre that we haven’t seen for some time, though the script could’ve used some finer tuning.

Rated: 3/5

This was a fun watch. Five Nights at Freddy's starring a villain who is the combination of Steve Harvey, Bill Cosby; only evil. I did like this movie. The plot progressed smoothly and kept my attention. The song he sings throughout gets catchy.

This Huluween original is a bit like "Nightmare on Elm Street" meets "Amanda the Adventurer". The idea of a children's show as a haven for evil - of whatever kind - is something I've come across a lot in various media over the last few months. "Mr. Crocket" also does a lot right: atmospheric images, a great villain, theme songs, practical effects, creative monsters and a handful of scary images (e.g. the fingers reaching out of the slot of the VHS recorder). Unfortunately, the film wastes a lot of potential: the film is too scary for small children, too boring for adults. The focus on the adults makes the middle part of the film a test of patience. The story and dialogue aren't all that great either. And to be honest, I've already forgotten most of it a few days after enjoying it.

Looks like an attempted parable but the general incompetence of the makers turns it into a total misfire.

A pleasant surprise. It’s an very effective horror movie that rising up from the streaming slop and has an terrifying performance from Elvis Nolasco
