Critics Consensus

Smart, well-acted, and suitably chilling, Scare Me uses its familiar horror setting as the backdrop for a fresh deconstruction of standard genre ingredients.

Polygon

it's easy to get swept up in the ride, if not the scares... Even if viewers never entirely lose themselves into these stories, they can at least feel like they're fully in on the joke.

"Scare Me" packs ambitious ideas inside a small-scale concept.

Vague Visages

Scare Me is an exceptionally funny movie, but it’s also (crucially) not solely a comedy.

Film Cred

Though it runs out of steam at times, Scare Me is a smart meta-commentary on horror films that tackles serious issues with wry humor.

Discussing Film

Might have been better served as a series of shorts rather than an overlong and disjointed movie.

Rated: 2. 5 / 5

I don't know if the movie is worth watching for people who are wondering if it's worth it. The endings twist could've been good if written write or done differently, but the ending is just not worth it and leaves the watcher wanting more.

An original premise that could've done so much more... I struggled to make it to the third act.

A wonderful concept of scripted collaborative story telling. With great acting from the two main characters, it's easy to get sucked into their little stories. That makes it extra unfortunate, though, that most of those stories aren't very original or exciting. After an hour and a half it starts overstaying its welcome. All in all mostly a wasted opportunity, but a very unique one.

It was refreshing! It's EXTREMELY hard to make "cliché" new and refreshing and somehow, they did it. This is what I call a good movie!
