Aftershock Reviews

Very, very ordinary.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 15, 2013

This Dimension pickup is a hectic, sometimes hilarious guilty pleasure that should delight genre geeks.

| May 15, 2013

Was Aftershock just an elaborate ruse by writer-producer-star Eli Roth to justify an extended vacation to Chile?

| May 13, 2013

Is no continent safe from the blood-drenched paws of filmmaker Eli Roth?

| Original Score: B- | May 10, 2013

Aftershock's best attribute is the disregard it shows for the safety of its central "heroes" who perish in brutal and generally unexpected ways.

Full Review | May 10, 2013

"Aftershock" is ultimately predictable in its litany of who lives and who dies, and doesn't try to be too ironic or self-reflexive about it.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 10, 2013

A weird mash-up of disaster, horror and dystopia genre pictures, "Aftershock" fails to make the Earth move.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 10, 2013

The violence is quick and occasionally inventive, with little of the attenuated nastiness that characterizes so many genre pictures, and the photography ranges from brightly sun-kissed to down-and-dirty.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 9, 2013

There's so little context to the litany of ugliness - some played for laughs, some meant to shock - that it's hard to discern where the entertainment value lies in any of this.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 9, 2013

It's hard to imagine just who would want to sit through this movie, given the sadistic mayhem the audience is subjected to.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 9, 2013

Aftershock is incompetently made and morally muddled, but since talent, morality, and Mr. Roth have never been on speaking terms, we're not exactly surprised.

| May 9, 2013

Cross "The Hangover" with the Apocalypse and that'll give you some idea of the level of debauched mayhem that makes "Aftershock" such a shameless and titillating exercise in horror.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 9, 2013

The ending is sick enough to make it almost worth the wait. Key word: almost.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 9, 2013

There is a great final shot ... and the Roth character does find a place with real heat. Otherwise, there's nothing groundbreaking here.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 9, 2013

Aftershock becomes perversely predictable after a while. Just imagine what a conventional disaster movie would do, and wait for the opposite to happen.

| Original Score: C+ | May 9, 2013

The elements all seem to be there but they're not compiled in a way that creates atmosphere or dread as much as they do confusion and laughter.

| Original Score: 2.5/5.0 | May 8, 2013

Merely lurid slice-and-dice junk put through a Cuisinart.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 8, 2013

Nicolás López's slick shocker turns into an unholy amalgam of disaster film and slasher flick.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 7, 2013

If you're into Eli Roth-style gore, it's satisfying enough - period.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 7, 2013

There's plenty of gore, but none of it is particularly inventive, nor does it engender any visceral or emotional reactions beyond jaded disgust.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 7, 2013
