There is, in other words, nothing new in Hellions that you can't get already in earlier, more ambitious horror films. But McDonald delivers an effective thrice-told tale, and he does it with enough avant garde flair to show viewers that temper their expectations a good time. - 42
The A.V. Club
Plenty of striking, clever, effective movies have been made simply by re-arranging and re-calibrating familiar genre elements. Hellions might have been one of these, if it was predicated on something slightly less shallow than “kids in masks + chanting + blood = scary.” - 40
Los Angeles Times
Hellions is art book horror, something to flip through but never truly eerie or scary. - 40
The New York Times
A jumbled third act and an indifferent ending ultimately make Hellions disappointing. But there’s a bit of fun to be had in its opening frights, and in trying to figure out what these costumed little monsters really want. - 30
Variety
Bruce McDonald’s Hellions is an unpleasant muddle of the visceral and the abstract. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
Rather than engage in slow-build horror, Pascal Trottier's screenplay flips the switch into Poultergeisty chaos. - 30
Village Voice
Hellions is unsettling, but in all the wrong ways. - 25
The Playlist
Completely forgettable, Hellions is far less cool, smart, and scary than it thinks it is.
