Pitfall isn't the worst of its kind, but the script could have certainly been pared down to its most basic parts. Go to Full Review

You expect the characters to be subjected to bloodletting torture, but their encounters with a hooded psycho can't compare to the agony evoked through the low-IQ machinations of a quintet of 20-somethings so annoying you cheer for their rapid demise. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
Despite decent production values and a few impressively gnarly kills, Pitfall is one of the more unpleasant horror movies of the year. Go to Full Review

Kondelik does what he can to obscure his tiny budget and limited locations, and he delivers a reasonably effective nightmare in "Pitfall," which carries a bit more substance while still pursuing frights. Go to Full Review

Pitfall is Friday the 13th meets 127 Hours, with none of the cheap thrills of the former and nail-biting intensity of the latter. Go to Full Review

7/10
Pitfall doesn't reinvent the wheel or drastically change the game, but it deserves credit for being a crowd-pleasing slasher. Go to Full Review

Tom 13h Awesome early summer survival horror jam See more Mark R @MarkLovesHorror 30m At first, it seems like a basic wooded horror film involving a group venturing into the wilderness where things inevitably spiral out of control. However, once our main character becomes trapped and severely wounded inside the pit, the movie evolves into a far harsher and more relentless survival story. The focus turns toward endurance, fear, and the horrifying possibility that there may be no way out. PITFALL leans fully into it's brutal survival horror identity, delivering relentless suspense and nerve racking moments throughout. Gritty, tense, and visually striking, it’s a horror film that succeeds at making viewers deeply uncomfortable in the best possible way. See more Kristina T @Spookyqueenkc 45m Pitfall is a indie survival slasher horror movie that is done very well. There is some great character development in here that makes you feel for these characters and worried on what could happen with them. It’s filled with so much suspense, having you at the edge of your seat. See more Angelina W @Aw0927 54m A MUST SEE movie! Cast and crew is one of a kind ♡ Amazing movie made with and by Amazing people Red head fire Gwen ❤️ Amazing wood nyph Charlie 🪵 Silly goober Lars 💖 Go see today!

Unique traps, and wonderful dialogue from everyone involved. Enjoyed every second of this film and would watch again and again if I could. See more Boober F @RT20038949 1h If you like eighties-nineties slashers, You'll love pitfall. Very nostalgic, makes a simple premise work very well. Kind of avant-garde regarding Scott's predicament (which I love but isn't for everyone, I think). See more Read all reviews
