Village Voice
Not every gamble works: The girls' intrusive Bejeweled-like social-media game annoys at every turn, and the plot itself is murky. But #Horror mesmerizes nonetheless, filled with tension, cruelty, and can't-look-away style. - 65
TheWrap
#Horror” is fueled by the despairing fear and misanthropy you can only get from reading needlessly malicious Internet comments. But it’s also made with verve, style, and sparing gore by writer-director (and fashion designer) Tara Subkoff. - 60
Los Angeles Times
The film works better as social satire than straight horror, as the murder plot that drives it along always feels unconvincing. - 50
Slant Magazine
A blunt satire of the dehumanization inherent in social media that also gets off on said detachment. - 40
The New York Times
The audience, given not an ounce of human warmth nor one person to care about, finally has no choice but to cheer for the anonymous cyberbully who wants them all dead. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
Infusing its generic horror tropes with vaguely satirical aspects, the film doesn't really work on either level. Unintentionally campy (or purposely, it's hard to tell) and marred by ridiculous plotting and dialogue, #Horror is mostly just a horror. - 12
RogerEbert.com
Not that anyone watching #Horror is likely to care in the slightest about who is doing the killing and who will survive.
