Critics Consensus

Steeped in gallows humor, Stuck is a taut, tense examination of a tragic accident.

It's a shaggy-dog story that spirals into garage Grand Guignol, with Suvari and Rea well-matched in uneasy roles.

Time Out

Gordon has directed drama, such as Mamet's 'Edmond', but also visceral horror movies like 'Re-Animator'. Elements of both are evident in this taut psychological thriller.

From the Front Row

A lean, nasty piece of work that deserves a wider audience than it is ever likely to receive.

Rated: 2.5/4

Stuck is not only the most entertaining horror flick to hit North American theatres this year, it's arguably the top Canadian shocker of all time.

The true story of a man stuck in a dumb lady's windshield is gold in itself. And even though its not a slick production, Mena is able to make a little something of it.

Grisly, not only in its plentiful visual gore and gallows humor, but in the movie's gruesome depiction of human stupidity and selfishness.
