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.

Rated: C+

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]

Rated: 3.5/5

"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

Absolute garbage. Couldn't even get past the first scene. Looked like something a toddler would have made. DO NOT WATCH

Gostei. É quase um estilo Tim Burton de terror. Temos uma boa sinopse, porém algumas coisas ficam destoantes. Fora isso, podemos aproveitar bem o filme que te prende especialmente nas cenas com o personagem título. Algumas críticas sobre educação infantil não concordei, mas enfim, é um filme.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Kept me interested right to the end. Not bad though no real frights. Supporting actors were below average.

It was surprisingly quite enjoying to watch. It brought back the nostalgic feeling using VHS and the horror characters really made it feel as if it was early 2000's film. It also plays at the theme that children are easily influenced by others and that children are still learning and won't always be able to appreciate a parents hardwork and parents might not always understand how children mourn.

I am not American, which makes accessing Hulu content a bit more challenging. So, as you can imagine, being a film buff, I was disappointed with Hulu for gatekeeping such an enjoyable horror movie from me. Mister Crocket is definitely in my top five horror movies of 2024 so far! While it isn’t innovative or groundbreaking, it features great acting, impressive effects, and a solid story. Sometimes, those elements alone are enough to turn a movie into something special. I really appreciated the concept of a 90s children’s TV host being a disturbed killer who, with his own twisted moral compass, believes he is saving the kids. The fast-paced nature of the film kept the momentum going from start to finish, leaving no time to catch your breath!
