Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org All hail the mighty Daniel Orihai, who bursts out of Nigeria with a pounding, intoxicating instant horror classic, The Weekend. Jun 19, 2024 Full Review Sumner Forbes Film Threat For all of its shortcomings, one will find oneself thinking about Oriahi’s film long after the credits roll, at which point any potential vegans in the audience can finally put away their barf bags and go back to their Impossible Burgers. Rated: 7/10 Jun 25, 2024 Full Review Soham Gadre Film Inquiry It feels like something rehearsed to the point of having the energy drained out of it. Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Michael Gingold Rue Morgue Magazine The sense of relatability built up by the slightly exaggerated, highly charged family issues in the first hour or so gets lost amidst the contrived, gruesome melodrama that follows. Jun 23, 2024 Full Review Brittany Witherspoon Screen Rant The Weekend is a horror feature that comes with genre bending and overwhelming suspense capable of entertaining and shocking its viewers. Rated: 4/5 Jun 15, 2024 Full Review Jason Adams Pajiba A tense and terrific thriller... the performances are all so good ... you’ll find yourself white-knuckling it through the unhinged last act. The Weekend is a feast and a half Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
