Gerald's Game Ratings & Reviews
- Lasse ViinikainenDecember 12, 2025Slow and suspenseful. A solid thriller.
- Adam AragonNovember 10, 2025Really well done tension, suspense, and drama. Some parts are extremely uncomfortable so you should go in with a strong stomach and let the story unfold. It's worth it.
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 19, 2024There is hardly any suspense at all in this movie, making it pretty boring and also not very scary. Some reveals are odd, and the drama is unrealistically overdone at times.
- MzTye14October 20, 2025This movie blew me away! It really makes you think that this could really actually happen and what would/could you do? I really enjoyed this one!
- rg9400November 1, 2024Going through Mike Flanagan's older films, and I think Gerald's Game is one of his stronger earlier works. You can see what he will eventually create in some of the scenes, and I don't just mean when a copy of the Midnight Mass book is thrown early on. This movie isn't particularly flashy to showcase some of the technical prowess of Flanagan, though flashback sequences illustrate his use of color well. There are some good use of prosthetics also. However, this movie is really a showcase for Carla Gugino's acting, often bottled up in a single location and hyper-focusing on her face as she works through a lot of emotions and interior thought processes. She's fantastic and really carries the movie. As for the story, you kind of have to get over the initial premise which feels a bit silly to view it as a way to explore our main protagonist's trauma and relationships. It does that really well before kind of going off the rails in the final minutes, but I will chalk that up to more Stephen King being unable to write a good ending than something specific on Flanagan's end.
- UniqueMovies Deb HSeptember 20, 2025Very cleverly done!! They couldn't have chosen better actors for this movie!! ✨🌹✨ Gory comedy, hallucinations, visions, fantastic! Dark! humorous acting! ✨🤣✨ Along with a dog that can't keep his mouth shut when he's chewing his human flesh food!! 🤮🤮 This movie is crazy good!! Verbally, disgustingly vulgar!! Perverted!! PTSD night terrors!! 🔱😱🔱 And what freaks me out is the Fair Hope Alabama!! 😱😱😱 Only 5 and 1/2 hours from where I'm at 😱😱😱 Thank God this movie is just fiction!! This movie is a must-see and worth the watch at least one time anyway ✨ Don't want to give yourself nightmares by watching it more than once 🔱🤮🔱😱🔱. Oh!! and I think I will stick with Fifty Shades Of Gray. Thank you very much! 🤣😂🤪🤣
