Roar Reviews
Fat Guys at the Movies
Kevin Carr
This has the same charm as Drafthouse's Miami Connection, only with jungle cats instead of drug-dealing ninjas.
The Dissolve
Keith Phipps
It's never clear whether it wants to present all the frightened scampering as comical or horrifying, but the unsimulated panic in the actors' eyes pushes it toward the latter.
Columbus Alive
Brad Keefe
4 WTFs out of 4. Not as unintentionally entertaining as The Room or Birdemic, but see it with an audience if you can.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Fascinating in the sense of what the film crew was able to actually accomplish, but never justifying the actual means for its existence, it's simply one of those films that has to be seen to be believed.
L.A. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
ROAR is a thrilling bore, an inanity with actual peril in every scene.
Cambridge Day
Tom Meek
I honestly can't say "Roar" is a good film or even a bad one, because it's both. But I can say there is never a down moment; there is always something to draw you in.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
If you want to see cats chasing people in packs, falling over themselves to descend stairwells, and jump up trees to swipe at disposable human protagonists--you will probably enjoy "Roar."
The Playlist
Erik McClanahan
Whether you find that hilarious or just plain sad is up to you, but there almost certainly will never be anything like "Roar" again, and that's reason enough to check it out.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
One of the truly singular one-offs in all of cinema history.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
On its merits, the film is abysmal, any way you look at it. Still, you can't take your eyes off it (between wincing).
Consequence
Charles Bramesco
With Roar, filmmaking feels as dangerous and immediate as bomb defusing.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
It can best be described as a cross between a nature special, a home movie, a snuff film, and a key exhibit at a sanity hearing.
Variety
Variety Staff
The noble intentions of director-writer-producer Noel Marshall and his actress-wife Tippi Hedren shine through the faults and short-comings of Roar.
Boulder Weekly
Michael J. Casey
You'll be cheering for those lions in no time.
The Public (Buffalo)
M. Faust
Knowing that everything in the film is real makes it a one-of-a-kind experience. It will have to be-no sane people would ever want to remake this.
Double Toasted
Korey Coleman
Roar is one of those movies that you've never seen anything like and will probably never see get made again.
Under the Radar
Austin Trunick
Based on its reputation alone, 1981's Roar is the Citizen Kane of films where actors were mauled by lions.
Austin American-Statesman
Charles Ealy
Roar has to be one of the most unusual movies ever made.
Metro
Matt Prigge
Too a singular to forget and definitely but definitely above criticism.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
The craziest, most breathtakingly bizarre motion picture you are ever likely to see. Imagine Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom as reimagined by Stephen King.
