Baratita pero cumplidora. Tiene buen ritmo, la historia es desordenada pero no se cae a pedazos (que dure una hora veinte seguro ayuda), tiene algún giro decente, sorprende con buenas escenas de gore y efectos prácticos. Para ser una película de bajo presupuesto lo hace bastante bien.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Most of this movie was quite terrible. It didn't start to get mildly interesting until the final few minutes of the movie, but it was too little too late, but I did like that song that played during the first part of the end credits.

Setup good, reveal bad... and bloody... and gory. Seemed somewhat derivative of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Clearly this has been fashioned for viewers who think inventive special effects involving exploding bags of blood and baling wire are fun, which they can be if you have the stomach for it.

Rated: 2/5

No discount thrill is high enough for The Price We Pay to be worth its rock-bottom terror.

Rated: 1/4

The cast is fine, but there’s a dispiriting dourness to the film. Nevertheless, after a slow start, Kitamura does offer up some impressive splatter scenes...

Starburst

This is a film of two halves – neither one particularly new or original, but both of them directed by the singular talent which is Ryûhei Kitamura.

Rated: 3/5

Everything's Interesting

...a violent climax full of campy, shocking, gleefully-gory imagery. If you’re the kind of horror fan willing to sit through an often-mediocre movie just to get those delicious morsels of daft zaniness, then The Price We Pay is for you.

Carla Hay

Culture Mix

The Price We Pay is yet another tedious and moronic slasher flick that's a very bad imitation of 1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. If you're going to copy a horror classic, at least make it compelling. The Price We Pay fails miserably on every level.
