What to Know

Critics Consensus

Thriller has an appealing cast and a fresh perspective on its genre, but those elements aren't enough to outweigh a bland and predictable story.

Atavia Reed Chicago Reader Jackson's, um, thrilling story often falls into the usual plot holes of classic horror tales... but the scare factor is often limited by the improbability of certain scenarios. Mar 10, 2020 Full Review Jason Bailey New York Times A haphazard assemblage of recycled parts from other, better horror movies. Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Thriller attempts to bring a new perspective to a tried and true horror sub-genre, but it ultimately feels as generic as its title. Those who are familiar with Prom Night will pick out the killer's identity straight away, and the plot beats drag. Rated: 2/5 Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Mark H. Harris Black Horror Movies Like his writing, Jackson's direction is sterile, delivering tame, slasher-lite kills and matter-of-fact "thrills" with the aesthetic of an after-school special. Rated: 2.2/5 Sep 17, 2019 Full Review Scott Weinberg Thrillist It's nothing we haven't seen before, plot-wise, but there are enough interesting performances and plot contortions to keep things interesting until the late-arriving mayhem hits the screen. Jun 14, 2019 Full Review Jeremy Aspinall Radio Times A worthy stab at the slasher genre, then, but with old-school slayers like Halloween's Michael Myers and Child's Play devil-doll Chucky still enjoying regular makeovers, the bogeyman bar remains too high for this underpowered effort. Rated: 2/5 May 17, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Movie was pretty terrible, it was very predictable and the plot was generic. Also they made the killer run very weird and the ending where the girl gets thrown off the roof and survives by magically grabbing a pipe is some bs. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review jacob c Dull mess of events. A docile slasher. The acting was not totally deplorable, but coming from big studios that are well established, it was disappointing. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Awful acting, awful plot and terrible music Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review kerry w Rating: 4/10. 45/100 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is not worth the time. There are better movies out there Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member One of thee worst movies since Taking Lives.
