Sick (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Noel Murray Los Angeles Times The real-world wrinkles aren’t just a cynical way to make the routine more relevant. They give all the bloody murder a meaning. Jan 20, 2023 Full Review Sick (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Sick is a slick shot of horror, fast-paced, and written with just enough biting commentary to make it a cut above. Rated: 3/4 Jan 18, 2023 Full Review Sick (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) David Fear Rolling Stone If you’re willing to sit through an otherwise stock take on the ol’ teens-and-terror-at-a-lake-house chestnut in the name of Covidsploitation curiosity, have at it. Jan 13, 2023 Full Review Sick (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Josh Winning Radio Times Rather than rewriting the rules of the slasher movie, Sick satisfyingly ticks all the genre boxes, right down to the surprise unmasking and entertainingly violent climax. Rated: 3/5 Oct 26, 2023 Full Review Sick (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Akos Peterbencze The Screen While Sick won’t redefine the genre as Wes Craven’s 1996 classic [Scream] has, Williamson creates a new playground to apply his essential slasher rules. Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Sick (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Anna McKibbin Paste Magazine Great slashers manage to construct a fragile sequence of interactions and objects that tumble down and exact a gory toll—Sick understands this better than most. Rated: 7.6/10 Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Movies must be getting pretty bad if people are scoring this movie so high. You guys got me. Wasted valuable moments of my life. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Daniel B Very well made and acted, if basic and simplistic. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Justin K I expected more from Kevin Williamson. However it's a good enough movie. It's just not great. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Thato M Honestly it was OK. The motive behind the killing wasn't that great but overall it was just OK. I'd not recommend it Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Michelle W Great characters, good job on keeping you guessing on who the killer is and if they have q reason for it or they are just psycho. Very well done. Great Thriller with horror qualities. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
