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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
