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.

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

3/4

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

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.

3.5/5

It achieves its goal to entertain the viewer with a solid slasher that, despite reminding us quite a bit of Scream, it stands on its own with a relatable story and good use of technical resources in pursuit of the narrative. [Full Review in Spanish]

3/5

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.

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.

Sick (2023) is a story set during the period when the entire world was under quarantine during the "Pandemic". I think it's the first movie I've seen that has the pandemic involved in the central plot along with serial killers murdering young people.

I watched this in 2022, and now I'm watching this again in 2025. I think this was pretty well done for a low-budget movie.

This was actually pretty good. A little cheesy ...but most horror/slasher movies are. Definitely endless jump scares! I enjoyed it. Kept me jumping and Screaming 😱

Sakto lang. Decent slasher horror. Di ko lang medyo gusto un pag gamit ng covid sa kwento bilang pagrespeto sa mga namatay sa pandemic
