 "...a beautiful, touching mess. And I say that in the nicest possible way. Ben Lewin cares about his characters so deeply that he ultimately chooses them over his film." |

 "...unnerving, terrifying and creepy... It invades privacies, manipulates the audience and even demands sympathy for terrible people. It's vicious, and it's damn good." |

 "...both a pleasant surprise and a hell of a good time, at least if you're willing to just go with it." |

 "...a hybrid of well-spun bullshit and down home creepiness.... 'Red State' may have its problems, but I still had a damn good time watching it overcome them." |

 "...isn't a film for the weak-stomached nor the faint of heart, but it is a whole lot more than just carnage. The Samurai wouldn't have it any other way and neither would I." |

 "...a bloodthirsty classic... made for the guys that don't think the villain deserves the right to explain himself.... I loved it, and if you're a sick bastard like me, you will too." |

 "...realizes scariness and creepiness are often proportional to how much we care about the character or characters in trouble.... We care. That's rare for a horror movie..." |

 "...plenty of little errors and poor decisions, but no matter how many times it gets lost, it never loses its momentum or intrigue.... A shallow good time is still a good time." |

 "Houston, Carmen Ejogo and Mike Epps join forces for one dinner table scene that's as riveting and well-acted as anything put to film this year." |

 "...it's the best movie we've seen from Tyler Perry. More importantly, it's the first one that's been exclusively populated by characters, as opposed to caricatures." |

 "...has all the patience and honesty of a very good film, but when it came time to truly trust its muted vision, it cowered and became something less.... a solid movie..." |

 "...it's better.... not only offers clarity and backstory to the original but also a chilling vision of its own which celebrates and polishes more than imitates and muddles." |

 "...a flimsy excuse to watch dudes get decapitated and women whip out their gigantic breasts... None of it is good by any reasonable definition, but goddamnit, it's still a lot of fun." |
