Film Threat
Gory, scary, smart and funny, this is definitely one of the best horror films I’ve seen in years. - 80
Village Voice
Roth never fully exploits the woods around him, and the homes of the locals are far too middle-class, but because so many clichés are discarded amid the flesh rot, even the patented "Night of the Living Dead" coda feels sharp-edged and genuine. - 75
Premiere
It plays on your knowledge of/expectations about generic horror movies and then either delivers the goods from an unexpected angle or pulls the rug out from under you. - 75
Rolling Stone
First-time director Eli Roth turns this cheapie into a greatest-hits of horror. It's a blast of good gory fun that just won't quit. - 75
Charlotte Observer
If this story has a moral -- though unlike many horror films, it doesn't seem to -- it's that humans are likelier to destroy themselves than help each other. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
A big, dumb, crude, noisy, goose-the-audience bash and proud of it. It's not nearly as unsettling as ''28 Days Later.'' - 50
Dallas Observer
Hypochondriacs and germ freaks may dig it. - 40
L.A. Weekly
The result is something neither scary nor funny.
