AV Club Rated: B+ Oct 28, 2011 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times "Silver Bullets" neither pleases the eye nor stimulates the mind. Rated: 1/5 Oct 27, 2011 Full Review Alison Willmore AV Club A significant step forward for Joe Swanberg, a filmmaker best known for chronicling the romantic misadventures of futon-owning twentysomethings. Rated: B+ Oct 27, 2011 Full Review CJ Sheu Review Film Review When lines get blurry, you need to maintain balance, and Silver Bullets has a solid center of gravity between multiple axes. Jan 11, 2022 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews A nonsensical disaster...

Audience Member If not for the obvious limitations of the budget, Swanberg most likely would have made an exceptional meditation on the artist, the artistic process and relationships. Even still, he has crafted a smart and potent little cinematic exorcise in the surreal. This is not a horror film. This is an experimental film about art and those who create it -- and the impact it can have on their lives. It works. However, it should be noted that SILVER BULLETS falls into that "love/hate" category. An individual will either love this film or hate it. ...but that usually signals important art. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Though it offers very interesting behind the scenes footage of making a horror movie, Silver Bullets adds up to an incredibly confusing and weird conclusion. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Swanberg ignores tired supernatural scare-flick trappings and locates terror in the shadowy, passive-aggressive process of making, and watching, movies. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
