Bingo Hell Reviews

The film brings more humor and wackiness to the Blumhouse anthology, unlike previous installments. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some disturbingly fun gags along the way.

A surprise to see Barraza enjoy this role so much, and for you the opportunity of healthy and spooky entertainment. “[Full Review in Spanish]”

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 31, 2022

It’s hard to let some of the nagging issues slide, but it does have some alluring traits and clever filmmaking touches that show why Guerrero is considered by many to be a young talent to keep your eye on.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 17, 2022

Where Bingo Hell excels is the way it presents contemporary white gentrification as a literal deal with Satan, turning capitalist enterprise into another facet of the Devil himself.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 23, 2022

Adriana Barraza is having a fun time in the role of Lupita. A brilliant approach to the horror genre centering on a group of elders whose Bingo is being taken away.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 2, 2022

It's like a very inferior episode of Tales From the Crypt but made into a movie.

If you need your horror movies to be fun and freaky in equal measure then Bingo Hell is a sure-fire good time. It's a boom-pow late-night horror flick with a steady stream of visual gags and practical effects.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 16, 2021

The movie wastes Barraza and fellow strong actor L. Scott Caldwell with a very thin script and Gigi Saul Guerrero's broad, clumsy direction.

| Nov 5, 2021

In 'Bingo Hell', Guerrero uses social themes from her own experience to create a complex fear that is more terrifying than the "monster" itself.

| Original Score: 5 of 5 | Oct 20, 2021

Bingo Hell shows that with a strong story, something deeper to communicate, and excellent acting, a movie's relatively low budget means nothing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 15, 2021

The subtext is there. It's not terribly subtle... but it does make it interesting.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 15, 2021

That measured world-building renders the intercut scenes of close-up carnage especially cartoonish, and however textured the victims' backstories, their gory fates feel weirdly incidental.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 14, 2021

[Guerrero] will be a filmmaking force for years to come, both within the horror field and the greater women's film movement as well.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Oct 13, 2021

Gigi Saul Guerrero makes smart, emotionally intelligent horror films that are simultaneously a lot of fun; in Bingo Hell, she lets you have your popcorn thrills without sacrificing her desire to really say something.

| Oct 12, 2021

The overall message got a little bit muddled by the over-the-top story and the over-the-top special effects.

| Oct 11, 2021

Gruesome fun.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 11, 2021

A sometimes clunky but always bold blend of social satire and delirious style.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 9, 2021

Bingo Hell is a fun horror film with plenty of blood, some true horror, a message about gentrification, respect for elders, and plenty more.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 6, 2021

Thrives when it's just focused on a likable, engaging group of characters. As a horror film? It never quite manages to get the right combination to craft a winning card.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 5, 2021

Plays hard and fast with reality and at being a zany B-film.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 5, 2021
