Scare Me is an exceptionally funny movie, but it’s also (crucially) not solely a comedy.

| Jun 7, 2023

Though it runs out of steam at times, Scare Me is a smart meta-commentary on horror films that tackles serious issues with wry humor.

| Dec 23, 2022

Might have been better served as a series of shorts rather than an overlong and disjointed movie.

| Original Score: 2. 5 / 5 | Jun 25, 2021

SCARE ME is a very interesting dissertation on creativity, human competition and jealousy, the desire for fame, and the people who want to be famous artists, but who might not want to work that hard to achieve that goal.

The deeper themes and the twist on meta stories are what scream "craft" about this film, but it's honestly just an absolute blast.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Feb 24, 2021

Aided by lighting, tricks of the camera, and some rip-roaring sound design, [I]Scare Me[/I] transforms simple conversation into a fun horror romp.

| Original Score: B | Jan 29, 2021

Scare Me is one of the most technically well done minimal masterpieces to ever grace the horror genre.

Ruben turns the potentially dull raw material of two people telling stories into the stuff of charmingly spooky cinema.

| Original Score: B- | Nov 3, 2020

A perfectly fine one and done horror comedy, it just can never break outside of its own concept to feel actually fleshed out...

Aya Cash: So good in You're the Worst, so good in the most recent season of The Boys, and now so, so good in Scare Me, a horror-comedy that leans heavily on her ability to tell stories... but good.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 29, 2020

Despite some bagginess in the middle, each of the stories in this anthology-style horror are well-executed, providing creeps and laughs in near enough equal measure.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 24, 2020

Scare Me understands the power of sound and the film's pared-back style gives its actors a chance to really play around and challenge themselves.

| Oct 21, 2020

more of a dark comedy than a full-bore horror tale, but genre fans will dig it all the same. the two leads are clearly having a good time, and it starts to infect the viewer.

| Oct 19, 2020

Entirely fails to make good by the interesting possibilities of its clever scenario.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 11, 2020

The effort is there, but it lacks in having more to say with its overlong runtime.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Oct 10, 2020

More comedy than horror, this witty freak-out cleverly plays with concepts of creativity and storytelling.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 9, 2020

Most of Scare Me is simply the two leads performing for one another, with the remarkable Cash having a marvelous time as the versatile, committed Fanny.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 8, 2020

Once Redd's Carlo leaves, the pace of Scare Me slows a tad more than ideal as Ruben takes the plot to its inevitable conclusion, but it's still a joyful, satisfyingly eerie experience.

| Original Score: 7.8/10 | Oct 8, 2020

Since we've just hit spooky season, it's a fun comedic fare that'll put a smile on your face.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2020

it's easy to get swept up in the ride, if not the scares... Even if viewers never entirely lose themselves into these stories, they can at least feel like they're fully in on the joke.
