Critics Consensus

Smart, self-aware, and all too timely, this slasher co-written by Kevin Williamson is Sick in all the best ways.

Audience Says

Sick will be a bloody good time for most horror fans, even if its social commentary might rub some viewers the wrong way.

Noel Murray

Los Angeles Times

The real-world wrinkles aren’t just a cynical way to make the routine more relevant. They give all the bloody murder a meaning.

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

Sick is a slick shot of horror, fast-paced, and written with just enough biting commentary to make it a cut above.

Rated: 3/4

Rolling Stone

If you’re willing to sit through an otherwise stock take on the ol’ teens-and-terror-at-a-lake-house chestnut in the name of Covidsploitation curiosity, have at it.

Josh Winning

Radio Times

Rather than rewriting the rules of the slasher movie, Sick satisfyingly ticks all the genre boxes, right down to the surprise unmasking and entertainingly violent climax.

Rated: 3/5

The Screen

While Sick won’t redefine the genre as Wes Craven’s 1996 classic [Scream] has, Williamson creates a new playground to apply his essential slasher rules.

Paste Magazine

Great slashers manage to construct a fragile sequence of interactions and objects that tumble down and exact a gory toll—Sick understands this better than most.

Rated: 7.6/10

I expected more from Kevin Williamson. However it's a good enough movie. It's just not great.

Honestly it was OK. The motive behind the killing wasn't that great but overall it was just OK. I'd not recommend it

Great characters, good job on keeping you guessing on who the killer is and if they have q reason for it or they are just psycho. Very well done. Great Thriller with horror qualities.

I love realistic horror films! Everything in this movie could really happen and that’s what made it so good. Reminded me of the movie SCREAM & Strangers put together

Remember 2020? Rather forget it? Wouldn't we all? Well this movie is also pretty forgettable. This one had potential but for me took way too long to get to the point and wasn't worth the blinks.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
