Critics Consensus

Led by a quartet of strong performances, Villains offers genre fans a delightfully dark thriller with a sharp comic streak.

John DeFore

The Hollywood Reporter

Villains has enough of its own offbeat energy not to come off as just another collection of young filmmakers' influences.

"Villains" is a fun movie, but it's not a great one. Their next one might be.

Rated: 4/5

The themes and overall approach to the story is better executed here by Berk and Olsen, and will make for a highly enjoyable discovery for audiences later this year...

Deep Focus Review

Villains keeps the viewer invested in the moment-to-moment tension, but it never quite delivers the laughs or pushes our limits beyond acceptable norms.

Rated: 2/4

Next Best Picture

Each key player manages to deliver a zany and humourous performance and the script is chock full of quotable lines of dialogue. This has all the hallmarks of becoming a well-loved cult classic.

Rated: 8/10
