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. Jan 20, 2023 Full Review 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 Jan 18, 2023 Full Review David Fear 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. Jan 13, 2023 Full Review 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 Oct 26, 2023 Full Review Akos Peterbencze 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. Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Anna McKibbin 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 Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Elmers G Some great acting, some lame acting. Lots of scary moments, lots of blood. An above average thriller. I was on the edge of my seat until the last 20 minutes. I hated the killer reveal but at 80 minutes, it is well worth a watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Rich C Sleeper hit here. Just threw this movie on. Loved it! A must watch! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Louise M Fairly average slasher film at the end of the day. If you’re interested in watching the classic “Teenagers in danger at a Lake House” trope, mixed with some light exploitation of a fairly recent pandemic…then give it a go! Nothing to write home about but easy watching for horror fans. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/03/25 Full Review Eric C Good horror movies.👍👍👍👍 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review João Vinícius A Sick will win over viewers for its courage in approaching a sensitive subject in an unexpectedly gory way and moving away from the same tired clichés of the genre. A fantastic addition to the slasher horror genre and an interesting subject to think about. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Julianna P This one might be one of the worst movies I have ever watched. Seriously, impossible to believe that it got 85% Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
