The Scary of Sixty-First Ratings & Reviews
sopula
May 29, 2025
scariest movie of the decade
Chicago Reader
Becca James
All of this takes place in what Nekrasova has likened to Eyes Wide Shut New York, and it is, in fact, as alluring as its influences, pulling viewers into a film that teeters between absurdly funny and absurdly frightening.
The Baffler
A.S. Hamrah
An ambitious concept for anyone's first film. But it gets close enough in this second year of blighted pandemic cinema.
Splice Today
Stephen Silver
The execution of the film doesn't work at all, but I admired its audacity.
Decider
John Serba
The Scary of Sixty-First is an undercooked thriller that seems like it has something to say, but never pulls itself together into something lucid and meaningful.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
The Scary of Sixty-First flirts with horror and anarchic black comedy, but is too eccentric for any easy classification.
Rue Morgue Magazine
Michael Gingold
While your response may vary, there's no denying the force of Nekrasova's filmmaking or the legitimacy of the messages she seeks to convey.
Paste Magazine
Lex Briscuso
Nekrasova's signature snark and monotone sarcasm peppers familiar style with something updated and interesting, even if it's not your cup of tea.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This muddled attempt to subvert genre tropes doesn't muster any incentive for emotional investment in its collection of creeps and weirdos.

The Scary of Sixty-First will find an audience firmly affixed to its wavelength who will champion its boldly irreverent style as a cult classic. [I'm sadly not it.]
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Mashing pentagrams, Prince Andrew and autoerotic asphyxiation into a lubricious slop, "The Scary of Sixty-First" feels suffocating and flat.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
a psychosexual thriller which is certain to live long in the memory.
Gay City News
Gary M. Kramer
The writing is lazy, the acting is indifferent at best, and the camerawork is haphazard when it isn't just lurid. There is an effort for the film to invoke the style of '70s thrillers, but it is a missed opportunity.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
The filmmaking lets down Nekrasova's concept, particularly in a cluttered and sometimes incompetent final act, leaving viewers to wonder what it all means, or if it means anything at all.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
"The Scary of Sixty-First" sprinkles a few funny lines and some striking images across its 81-minute running time, but it's dispiritingly shaggy for such a short movie.
AV Club
Anya Stanley
The Scary Of Sixty First cuts, but not very deeply; it's all blade and no handle, a prankish flesh wound of a thriller.
IndieWire
Christian Blauvelt
In "The Scary of Sixty-First," Nekrasova takes us on one that's thrilling and unforgettable. Where will she take us next?
Slant Magazine
David Robb
In a way, the film feels like a true heir to the petulant, low-budget horror cinema of the '70s and '80s.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jourdain Searles
A shallow provocation.
Variety
Guy Lodge
There can be a fine line between a good idea and a terrible one followed through with utter conviction, and it's along said line that "The Scary of Sixty-First" dances with heedless, wicked abandon.
