The rest of the actors have to make do with staring at their computer screens with insincerely shocked and anxious faces; the lack of dramatic tension is all too apparent.

Rated: 2/5

Variety

Not every story is suited for Zoom-style presentation, and this derivative, uninspired one only underlines the strain in being fit to a presentational framework that does neither actors nor audience any favors.

Austin Chronicle

What Host really had, and Safer at Home lacks, are credible characters. Instead, we're confronted with the same nonsensical solipsism that made everyone glad that Cloverfield had monsters.

Rated: 2/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Safer At Home fails at encapsulating the isolation through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rated: 3/10

We all grew tired of the group Zoom call.

While not perfect, this independent production is still worth adventurous audiences' time.

This was awful, lost 90 minutes of my life. The plot was bad, the acting terrible and the drama non-existent. Do yourself a favor and don't watch it

Terrible acting and premise. Who thinks it's interesting to listen to boring inside drama of clique-y rich 30 year olds that are so useless they don't even know what 911 is? They also can't even decide what effects the "unknown"drug has? Like the don't even seem like they're on drugs they just comment "I'm feeling it! Omg" to let us know they are on drugs. Lmao whoever made this is so disconnected from reality. This movie is an embarrassment lmfao.

For a movie that is supposed to be based on realistic events the characters aren't really realistic. Ending wasn't that great either.
