Critics Consensus

Carmen Ejogo is stranded in a wasteland both figuratively and literally in this disposable thriller, which lacks the cleverness or specificity to give its thin conceit any bite.

While the exact events of Rattlesnake might have made for a good short story or hour-long episode of TV, they wear thin when stretched out to feature length - even when said feature runs just under an hour and a half.

1/5

Ejogo is an undeniably talented actor who has delivered strong turns in genre fare before, but she's adrift here, stuck with a character devoid of specificity and personality.

It's the kind of movie you forget just as you're clicking on to whatever the Netflix Overlords think you should be watching next.

This dreary, third-rate Netflix thriller has very little bite...

The movie's as parched -- of thrills, chills, and basic narrative momentum -- as its New Mexico setting.

One time watch movie, it should be a long teleplay instead of home theater. No doubt film has thrills story is different but i feel there are some spaces where work could have done.

This movie is so bad.. like ridiculously bad- and not in a fun campy horror kind of way. There is no content, nothing clever or interesting whatsoever and the dialogue is trash. None of the actors seem remotely Texan but they are indeed in Texas, which - don’t worry, they will remind you of this a thousand times.

It was so boring and predictable. Not only that but some of the dialogue is written weirdly.
