Sick Reviews
Rather than rewriting the rules of the slasher movie, Sick satisfyingly ticks all the genre boxes, right down to the surprise unmasking and entertainingly violent climax.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 26, 2023
While Sick won’t redefine the genre as Wes Craven’s 1996 classic [Scream] has, Williamson creates a new playground to apply his essential slasher rules.

Great slashers manage to construct a fragile sequence of interactions and objects that tumble down and exact a gory toll—Sick understands this better than most.
| Original Score: 7.6/10 | Jun 2, 2023
A nasty slasher film from the early days of the COVID period.
| Original Score: B- | Apr 19, 2023
Sick rises above a lot of other modern slasher horror by pulling many of our real lives throughout the pandemic into the foreground.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 12, 2023
Sick is a pathetically weak excuse for a fright film that needs to be quarantined immediately.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 8, 2023
While Sick may not be the grade-A horror film it wants to be, it is an enjoyable watch, with a few surprises, some great visual creations, and a capsule of a pandemic we are all still dealing with.
| Feb 5, 2023
While the messaging might be a little murky, Sick is nevertheless a lean, mean, chase scene machine that should satisfy most genre fans.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 1, 2023
The payoffs are actually rewarding, and more than a little disturbing in terms of the lengths the crazed killers have gone to get vengeance and attain some twisted sense of justice.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 25, 2023
A smart and thrilling slasher knock-off with a unique spin against a pandemic background.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 21, 2023
Balanced commentary, sharp thrills make pandemic-themed shocker soar.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 20, 2023
Well-made but progressively deflating, "Sick" even uses the word “psychobabble,” yet another hint that parts of the script were written in 1998.
| Original Score: C+ | Jan 20, 2023
The real-world wrinkles aren’t just a cynical way to make the routine more relevant. They give all the bloody murder a meaning.
| Jan 20, 2023
Sick is admirable for how it mines a recent issue to incite strong reactions, and for how its complex morality challenges our sympathies.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 19, 2023
Sick is a slick shot of horror, fast-paced, and written with just enough biting commentary to make it a cut above.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 18, 2023
Sick is a slasher film I could have easily seen building an audience in theaters. Instead, it’s a streaming release, but a good one.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 18, 2023
It’s fun, freaky, adrenaline-filled, and even terrifying at times, but once you’ve seen it, you’ve seen it.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 18, 2023
Sick is a fast-paced, tense slasher with characters, both heroes and villains, that blur the lines between what makes a person good versus evil.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 18, 2023
Don’t fall for the yassification of a standard-issue slasher flick. The setting might seem new and interesting, but little else in the film is.
| Jan 18, 2023
If viewers can allow themselves to look past the clunky conclusion, they’ll likely have a scary good time, especially if watched with a fun-loving pod.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 17, 2023
