Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 10/18/2018
Even bad horror movies can have their pleasures, and here it's Kilmer who gives "The Super" a kick. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 10/17/2018
It offers a few decent scares as well as the opportunity for Val Kilmer to once again display his unique brand of screen charisma. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh Film Journal International 11/09/2018
How surprising the story's twist ending turns out to be depends on how thoroughly steeped in horror moves the viewer is, but it's well executed down to small details. Go to Full Review
Tom Bedford Film Inquiry 11/01/2018
The Super has the occasional moment of great horror filmmaking - but not enough to make it a super film. Go to Full Review

It's not without its charms and you could certainly do worse, but don't expect too much from The Super. Go to Full Review
Rob Staeger L.A. Weekly 10/22/2018
"I was in The motherf**king Wire!" I imagine that thought was running through the head of Paul Ben-Victor as he grouched his way through The Super. Go to Full Review

Cindy S Sep 5 Terrible acting! A lot of of false alarms. Kilmer did the best acting with the lame role that he had. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 12 Success in 1.5 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starring Val Kilmer as Walter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more TAX T 12/14/2024 It made zilch sense. Too many plot holes. I love Val Kilmer though. See more Jeff B 09/18/2024 SPOILER WARNING The ending makes no sense as throughout the movie others directly refer to Rose and are introduced to her. This is a major plot hole and ruined an otherwise good movie IMO. Beverly's actions at the end also make no sense because whether she believes Violet's account of the events from 7 years ago or Rose's account, Rose would be dead in either case and thus Walter's ritual casting Rose out of the living world would make sense. See more Tyler T 03/30/2023 Val Kilmer saves it, solid movie until the ending. Bombed it at the end See more Trey W @el_wardo 03/27/2023 Rather enjoyed it, looking for a sequel.
