Traumatika Ratings & Reviews
- gnrrain14 de diciembre de 2025Honestly much better than I expected. Think along the lines: if Exorcist was about childhood trauma - what would the demon be like and what might it do. Great practical effects for the majority of shots made this totally worth the view and will hold up to subsequent viewings as well. This isn't a perfect story or anything and some of the shot choices are strange but overall I did enjoy this and would recommend.
- UniqueMovies Deb H27 de octubre de 2025NOT FOR CHILDREN TO VIEW!!🚫 This movie is extremely frightening and demonic. It is about a possessed antique cursed artifact. It's also about possession, incest, death, self-abortion, self-mutilation, child abduction, And not for the faint of heart ❤️ The trailer to this movie was definitely not lying. If you're a full-blooded horror fan, then this movie is definitely for you. It's got body horror. Not my cup of tea at all. I will not watch this movie again! ✨🚫✨ This is the month of spooktober, that being said, happy Halloween!!✨🎃✨ Stay scared ✨😱✨😨✨ 💥👹💥 And don't forget! This movie is not for children! Not even teenagers!!
- Tyler S17 de octubre de 2025Some cool make-up work and a good performance from Rebekah Kennedy aren't enough to save this incoherent mess. Even at only 82 mins this movie just dragged on and on. A good trailer, a garbage movie, skip this one, not worth your time. 👎👎 2.5/10

- jackmeat22 de octubre de 2025My quick rating - 5.2/10.If you ever needed proof that childhood trauma and cursed Egyptian relics don’t mix, Traumatika is here to hammer that message home with a blood-smeared shovel. The poster alone looks like something that crawled out of a therapist’s nightmare, and the opening text about the five types of childhood trauma isn’t exactly comforting. From there, we’re off to Egypt in 1910 for a ritual that screams “nothing good will come of this,” and sure enough, it doesn’t. Fast forward to Pasadena, California, in 2003, because every good curse needs a long flight home, and little Mikey’s night terrors are about to turn into a full-blown demonic family reunion. The movie doesn’t waste time easing you in; it goes straight for the jugular. Between the nightmare-fueled scenes and a missing-kid storyline straight from Unsolved Mysteries: Hell Edition, it’s clear early on that no one’s sleeping soundly tonight. Then we meet Abigail (Rebekah Kennedy), the woman holding the kid hostage and delivering a surprisingly effective performance. At first, she seems like your standard-issue lunatic, but the film actually gives her some disturbingly believable motivation. Turns out, her family makes the Texas Chainsaw clan look well-adjusted relatives. The father-daughter relationship alone is enough to make you want to call your parents just to thank them for not being monsters. Moms, however, might want to sit this one out, it gets rough. Credit where it’s due: the gore and makeup effects look fantastic. No glossy CGI sludge here — this is old-school, sticky, tactile horror. The blood splatters, the demonic transformations, and the ghoul design are all convincingly grimy and gross in the best possible way. The first hour is pure Halloween fuel. Dark, gritty, and confidently mean-spirited. It even manages to layer in a surprisingly human message about how trauma festers through generations, giving the carnage some emotional weight. Then, somewhere around the two-thirds mark, the movie hits a wall. The energy drops, the pacing slows, and suddenly it feels like someone switched reels with a lesser film. The plot meanders toward a finale that’s more “well, I guess that’s one way to end it” than “holy hell, what a finish.” It’s a shame, because the first half was on track to make this an indie horror knockout. Instead, it limps across the finish line and leaves the door open for a sequel, which, knowing horror, will probably happen whether we asked for it or not. Still, there’s a lot to like here. Emily Goss also turns in a decent performance as Alice, Abigail’s younger sister, and Sean Whalen’s scenes are a fun surprise for horror fans who spot him instantly from The People Under the Stairs. The psychological themes land well, the practical effects deliver, and the first half alone justifies the watch. Traumatika starts as a creepy and emotionally raw horror story and ends as a decent indie that lost its nerve halfway through. It’s not perfect, but compared to some of the dumpster fires I’ve sat through lately, this one’s a walk in the bloody park.
- Mr. D19 de octubre de 2025Could have been. Unfortunately, the producers were higher than me. Wacked scenes all over the place. No focus. No nothing in the end. When buddy opens that shit though......could have been the best horror movie ever.
- ricomckee18 de octubre de 2025Could have been brutal but they still held back and by doing so it makes the film seem reductive. There is some great gore and shocking moments in this film. It is literally about a trauma demon so there is some messed up stuff that happens in the film. The problem… if you are going to go there … then you have to be all in and make that movie that will make people repulsed. Instead, because they didn’t go all in there is shock and horror but then it starts to fall flat because they hold back in other areas. It then also goes from being crazy sick to a comedy in the second half. It is definitely a must see for horror fans but this could have been traumatic but falls a bit flat… but a good start.
- Hipster ZOMBIE18 de octubre de 2025Traumatika wants to be edgy but kind of falls flat under the weight of its own hype. The first 15 minutes are actually pretty scary with some good acting and disgusting makeup work. But after that the film’s narrative bounces around too much from one disturbing scene to the next. There is an incest scene that is gross but no nudity is shown it’s more implied. However the abortion scene was pretty gross. When a film tries to be more shocking than coherent that’s a big problem. The biggest trauma this film ultimately produces is making the viewer sit through all of it hoping it gets better.
- Mark15 de octubre de 2025Some really scary moments makes this a must watch for horror fans.
- Spoons15 de octubre de 2025Traumatika swings hard but loses its balance. Part psychological horror, part possession nightmare, part revenge slasher. The horror works, the story doesn’t. Still, it’s nasty, stylish, and unsettling enough to haunt non-horror fans.
