Variety
As a self-aware guilty pleasure, The Belko Experiment may not quite seize greatness, but it does give it a playful squeeze. - 70
We Got This Covered
The Belko Experiment rides a gushing wave of carnage through the elevators of an unsuspecting office building, gleefully making wolves out of sheep. - 58
The Film Stage
In the hands of McClean, the film’s violence feels often overwrought instead of fun. - 50
Slant Magazine
The film's characters are stock types without enough satirical texture to fulfill their function in the narrative. - 50
Screen Daily
The film’s down-and-dirty nastiness does have its merits, but the bloodshed isn’t nearly as interesting when the characters are as exciting as a spreadsheet. - 42
The Playlist
The film not only traps its characters, but also corners its story, with the ‘Experiment’ by Mclean and Gunn not allowing any room for variables that might bring some inventiveness to this otherwise steel-shuttered bore. - 30
TheWrap
The meager tension generated by characters discovering their survival instincts, and why you might not want to be next to them when they do, is quickly dissipated by the realization that, at a certain point, the movie is an assembly line of killing, and not a terribly exciting or entertaining one at that. - 30
The New York Times
The Belko Experiment is a grisly, sick-making exercise in sadism that tries to camouflage its base venality in a thought-experiment plot.
