Bad Things Ratings & Reviews
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Thorndike moves toward significant storylines and then retreats, failing to take advantage of its potential.
The Newnan Times-Herald
Jonathan W. Hickman
"Bad Things" is an example of the growing body of Generation Z horror, where a chainsaw competes with the destructive power of emotional trauma.
Film Focus Online
Rebecca Johnson
Despite boasting great performances and a creepy, claustrophobic setting, Bad Things bites off more than it can chew and becomes a meandering slog with little pay-off.
Willamette Week
Daniel Rester
Although it gets points for representation, acting and a beautiful piano score by Jason Falkner, the film is a bit of a mess.
Arts Fuse
Steve Erickson
Bad Things tries out a lot of ideas, many of them good, but a crisis in identity results in slapdash execution.
In Review Online
Chris Mello
the gulf between Bad Things' lofty goals and its realization could not be wider, as the film is sorely deficient as both genre entertainment and intellectual exercise.
Movie Madness Podcast
Erik Childress
From Glow to Shining, Gayle Rankin is stuck in a wannabe surreal ghost story that is light on creep and left wandering for a purpose while one of the worst supporting performances of the year tries to inject hysterical fidelity drama to produce horror.
Paste Magazine
Matt Donato
Bad Things is a poisonous performance piece balanced by standouts and letdowns, earning its recommendation based on Rankin's unhinged performance.
Denton Record-Chronicle
Preston Barta
'Bad Things' combines all work and play for one ghostly, bloody affair.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
What the film lacks is more emotional depth.
The MacGuffin
Allen Almachar
While there are elements that work well, the overall piece leaves a lot to be desired. It has plenty of potential but doesn't quite reach it in the end.
them.
Rendy Jones
Bad Things certainly won't have Stanley Kubrick rolling in his grave; if anything, one can hope he'd be waving a rainbow flag.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
I wish the movie had a little more going on and a more structured plot that felt fully thought out, but there's still something here I think is worth checking out, and it especially works as a perfect companion piece to the filmmaker's one previous film.
RogerEbert.com
Peyton Robinson
"Bad Things" juggles too many elements with too little focus. It plays out like a waiting game, with a pace that stumbles through its 84-minute runtime with plenty of hollow conversations and a few teases of tension.
Autostraddle
Drew Gregory
At a time when most movies are derivative without engagement, it's thrilling to get a film that finds originality in reimagination.
Fiction Horizon
Casey Chong
Gayle Rankin excels in a queer spin of 'The Shining'-like psychological horror-drama.
The Hollywood Reporter
Caryn James
Not original but not quite homage, always watchable but never as compelling as it might have been.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A film with a great cast and fun setting that can't find the right tone or overcome some truly clunky dialogue and characters.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
A wild film on its own merits and a fascinating one when considered alongside Lyle, Bad Things guarantees that Thorndike's unfolding 'motherhood' trilogy has been well worth the wait.
IndieWire
Samantha Bergeson
The film's lo-fi quality and stellar cast chemistry makes the feature an easily watchable horror film.
