The real-world wrinkles aren’t just a cynical way to make the routine more relevant. They give all the bloody murder a meaning.

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

If you’re willing to sit through an otherwise stock take on the ol’ teens-and-terror-at-a-lake-house chestnut in the name of Covidsploitation curiosity, have at it.

“Sick” not only factors in our still-evolving COVID-era rules, but also serves as an amusing time capsule for the collective fears that have seized us these past three years.

| Jan 13, 2023

Sick is exactly what it looks like, and a lot of mean-spirited fun at that.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 13, 2023

A rote morality play with familiar set pieces and decent performances — performances which could have been great if the film had given the characters more, you know, character.

| Jan 13, 2023

Sick is competent mid-level horror whose Covid container is tight enough to make the film’s 2020-ness feel fitting rather than dated.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 12, 2023

“Sick” barrels into a new film genre with gusto, if not brilliance: the COVID slasher.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 10, 2023

Throughout, the film’s characters impressively hold their own when forced to defend their lives, with director John Hyams catching every incident of bone-crunching mayhem as if he were shooting a martial arts film.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 18, 2022
