Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times An effective and unsettling neuro-psychological thriller Feb 26, 2016 Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts Everything really ties together perfectly... it is a tension-building, terrifying movie and sometimes reality is more scary than fiction. Rated: 8/10 Apr 30, 2021 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film They Look Like People is a remarkable first film and it keeps us guessing right up to the end, with multiple possible sources of catastrophe. Rated: 4/5 Jul 3, 2019 Full Review Kat Hughes THN A tense psychological thriller with two of the most endearing best friends since Bill and Ted. They Look Like People is what would happen if Donnie Darko grew up. Rated: 4/5 Apr 27, 2019 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews An intriguing if not-entirely-successful horror effort... Rated: 2.5/4 May 9, 2018 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena It seems destined for cult status. [Full review in Portuguese.] Rated: 5/5 Jun 19, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Phillip P Charming near-horror movie with a 1970s, gritty vibe, yet with oddly heartfelt relationships. I thought it would be bizarre, but it ended up be touching. Strange in the way it subverts expectations. So good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Weeewee H This movie was underwhelming in my personal opinion. The climax to the story was unidentifiable and no major things happened in the movie. I wish that there was a big plot twist or exciting moment in the movie, but it all fell flat. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Ari B I was so looking forward to this movie but it’s like watching a bad highschool film project. Bad acting and poor directing. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/22/24 Full Review David S One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Terrible ending, terrible rising action, and genuinely the worst dialogue and least compelling characters I have seen in any movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Jonah K this film is so effective. where other horror movies have you wondering what’s hiding in the shadows, this one has you hoping you never have to see the monster. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Christian C Shockingly good, but placed in a genre largely viewed by the dimmer types who adore having seven sequels in the ‘Leprechaun’ series because it gives them the “actually the monsters were REAL!” result that so many of them want. The comments about how “nothing happens” are just moronic… What they actually mean is “this movie did not reaffirm my idiotic beliefs about a coming apocalypse where I’m a warrior in a secret order battling to save the world.” Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
