"The Decline" is lean, credible and well-crafted, even if it never quite makes the leap from efficient suspense machine to something more memorable.

Keith & the Movies

The film uses its small sample-size of humanity to show that we can’t isolate ourselves from what’s inside of us. And what’s buried inside is often pretty ugly. All of that is wrapped inside of a compelling idea which turns into a fairly stock thriller.

Rated: 3/5

I'll assure you the action delivers, but the suspense wins in the end. It's all about what you are expecting to see and then being shocked at the high level of execution.

Rated: B

Adelaide Review

Directed by Laliberté in freezing conditions in rural Nord-du-Québec, this is a mere 83 minutes and stripped right back to the bone but, nevertheless, we still feel for the characters...

Rated: 7/10

I so wanted to enjoy this movie. An interesting premise gone wild. The "decline" is a perfect description of what began as a pretense of being a thought-provoking commentary on the state of society, to the devlovement of pointless gratuitous, nonsensical gore. In a word - unfulfillment.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

SMALL SPOILERS This movie was very entertaining start to finish and even if its very predictable it was still entertaining to guess what would happen next. I like the antagonist as it was cool to see him being admired by his students to hated and seeing his personality and true thought's and morals really show. cool movie would recomend

Very predictable and rubbish ending. Wish they had more of a "chase" and also wished the other person at the end was the last one standing rather than the ending that did happen. Would not recommend

Really bad. Boring. Terrible acting with unlikeable characters. Very stupid and very predictable storyline. Plot that is full of holes. Dumb and unimaginative ending.
