As far as original slasher films go, it is largely frustrating – but there are potential rewards if you are patient.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 18, 2023

Takes a number of exciting narrative deviations from expectations while also paying homage to teen-themed horrors of yesteryear.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 22, 2023

Levine and cinematographer Darren Genet aren't quite as freewheeling and bold with it as Scott and his collaborators, but it nonetheless leaves a mark.

"All the Boys Love Mandy Lane" is a fun little horror flick, a throwback to early 80s teens-in-trouble slasher fare. There's bloody action and some fun banter, and this is definitely a film you should watch if you're so inclined.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 8, 2020

The scares aren't really there, the gore is mostly uninteresting and the characters are difficult to care about.

| Oct 31, 2019

All the Boys Love Mandy Lane is an entertaining slasher flick, even with a maudlin twist.

| Aug 29, 2019

A smart, grimly effective slasher film.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 6, 2019

For die-hard fans of horror films, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane may fall short, however, it does it's best to artfully pay homage to the horror genre, making it at least an enjoyable film to watch.

| Mar 3, 2019

Though not at all disappointing, the film is standard and formulaic.

| Aug 21, 2018

...a less-than-auspicious debut for a filmmaker who has gone onto bigger and better things (ie there was nowhere but up for Levine, really).

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 8, 2016

What we might actually call a "thinking man's slasher flick."

| Aug 28, 2015

The film's ambitions are respectable, but it unfortunately doesn't live up to them.

| Original Score: C | Apr 8, 2014

Too dumb for the arthouse, but too smart for the mall multiplex, the movie satisfies, paradoxically, precisely because it doesn't deliver on expectations.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 21, 2013

The third act twist is what's made this one's inflated reputation, but it's what makes this more risible than a mere genre entry.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 14, 2013

The movie is well-made, with more effort placed on building tension than on creating bloody payoffs.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 24, 2013

A stylish and self-conscious teen body-count horror film.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 23, 2013

The boys might love the title character, but it's doubtful many of them will like her movie.

| Oct 18, 2013

Levine has fun with the genre, but he's found more interesting movies to make since. "Mandy" isn't quite dandy, but it's a cut above average.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 18, 2013

"Mandy" is a sturdy little slasher film, nothing more.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 17, 2013

I can safely say we could have lived life quite contently without ever seeing it, but it's hard to completely dismiss it.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 11, 2013
