What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

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

Thato M Honestly it was OK. The motive behind the killing wasn't that great but overall it was just OK. I'd not recommend it Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Michelle W 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Lauren T 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 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Audience Member If you like the Scream movies, you’ll love this! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Regina W 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 09/03/24 Full Review Aaron L I thought the movie was very suspenseful and hardly had any dull moments. It's pretty satisfying as a slasher movie goes. The "big reveal" at the end is just frustrating though, especially for how good the movie is until that moment. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
