2.5/4
Director/writer Jeremiah Kipp’s feature hums with a Shirley Jackson vibe as monsters in the mind and from the past clash. Go to Full Review Anton Bitel Sight & Sound 08/24/2021
an ambiguous film of mourning gone wrong, as a neglected boy's transgressive rites of passage play out simultaneously as supernatural tale and psychodrama, with a murderous monster emerging as much from within as from without... Go to Full Review Dev Shea Nightmarish Conjurings 09/13/2022
Overall, while Slapface isn’t an incredible psychological horror film, it isn’t a bad way to spend an hour and a half of your time. Go to Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots 05/31/2022
An interesting, thought-provoking indie horror film that isn’t shy about exploring tough subject matter and presenting it in a way that’s different, creative, and very effective. Go to Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness 05/27/2022
3/5
... is all about consequences and what happens when everyone turns a blind eye to the choices made around them. It’s harsh and unforgiving, using supernatural trappings to explore the ramifications of grief and abuse. Go to Full Review Scott Campbell We Got This Covered 05/09/2022
3.5/5
'Slapface' can often be a relentlessly bleak experience, but the thematic resonance and surprisingly effective character dynamics comfortably offset any minor flaws. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Horror fan 4 Dec 1 A not so scary movie but an effective way to deal with loss of a parent. The love/ hate between the brothers is great. Tim Treakle See more Korra N Sep 6 Far better than it has any right to be with the title of SLAPFACE, some great acting and a few genius scares. See more Paul M May 10 Not downright horrible, but definitely not for season horror buffs. This is the horror movie you throw on when your friend who doesn’t like scary stuff comes over… much more suit for a greener audience. It has some of the trappings of a small budget film but not enough to make a significant dent. See more Craig B @Boundsy 05/11/2024 Absolute cracker of a horror film... with a backstory of bullying. It's one of the best horror films I've seen in a while... See more Logan D 05/10/2024 A young boy still mourning the loss of his mother encounters a strange being and begins a friendship with it. A haunting film about loss, abuse, and bullying. I think the director was too ambitious in juggling so many relationships. I would rather the film had been stripped to the boy's connections to his brother and the creature. The bathroom scene: brilliant. Thought provoking, consequences, bleak See more Cali C 05/06/2023 No way the ratings are real on this one!!!! People got recruited to do 5 stars..only explanation for the audience rating. This is A TERRIBLE BORING NON SENSE MOVIE. Little puss kid crying through the whole movie with a stupid ending! Can't believe I got suckered into renting this! I want my 3.99 dollars BACK!
