John Serba Decider Tighten up Sebastian Fitzek and Susanne Schneider’s screenplay and excise the peen-hammer-to-skull overexplanatory subplotty flashbacks, and the movie might be a tight, minimalist thriller that implies things instead of stating them outright. Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut The Calendar Killer is not just a serial killer thriller but a haunting exploration of personal torment and domestic abuse interwoven within a suspenseful narrative. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 16, 2025 Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies The Calendar Killer has the oddest yet most realistic depiction of a vigilante.

Tatiana H I think this movie was good. I enjoyed the concept of knowing when you will die but having to choose someone else to have the debt. The concept that shows how much humanity is alive or dead. The movie was short ( concerning the length of movies nowadays) but I enjoyed that it wasn’t long. I believe the story gets to the point which I like. The movie had a good plot twist as well , that I didn’t even expect ( I usually see the plot twist in movies). The movie touches on domestic violence and assault so if that’s triggering for you , I wouldn’t recommend this movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone who like suspense, dramas, thrillers than you will enjoy this movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review Ralph R "The Calendar Killer" was a letdown. From the start, the movie felt like it was rushing through its setup, skipping a proper first act and diving straight into a predictable storyline. There was no real depth to the plot, making it easy to see where things were heading without any surprises. The third act lacked any real impact, leaving the film feeling incomplete. While there were some decent cinematography moments, they weren't enough to save the experience. The acting felt forced and unconvincing, making it hard to connect with any of the characters. Overall, it's a forgettable thriller that doesn't do much to stand out. It had potential but missed the mark by relying on a generic structure and failing to build tension. If it had taken more time to develop its characters and create a proper buildup, it might have been more engaging. Instead, it feels like a rushed project with decent visuals but nothing memorable beyond that. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review Christian K A disappointing one night thriller that doesn't really offer anything unexpected or new. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review Horror fan 4 One of my favorite movies of the year so far. Nice little twist in this intense thriller. Tim Treakle Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Lais R Good acting, big on suspense, it keeps you guessing till the end, good turnaround! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Chelsea W Was pleasantly surprised. There were a couple points in the beginning where I almost clicked out but really glad I watched it all the way through as it had several rewarding plot twists.
