Critics Consensus

Getting an adrenaline shot from Jack Quaid and Amber Midthunder's considerable charm while finding increasingly demented ways to utilize its concept, Novocaine is the opposite of a pain to watch.

Audience Says

Novocaine is just the violent dose of fun the doctor ordered.

...[Novocaine is] billed as a comedy but the joke goes missing in the first few minutes amid the volume of blood splashed around on the screen.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Novocaine feels like a brainstorming session for itself, which is all very well, until you realise that the only part being fully exercised is the lizard brain.

For the Win (USA Today)

[Jack] Quaid’s friendly aura is such a strange fit for the material, but that’s why this works so well.

Novocaine is genial enough in its extreme violence to endear audiences with the capacity to endure it. It goes from fun to sicko fun.

Impulse Gamer

Novocaine is a fun, exciting, and boisterously bloody time at the movies that takes its novel concept, runs with it with cartoonish glee, and is led by a charming pairing in Jack Quaid and Amber Midthunder. Recommended.

Rated: 3.5/5
