The Loft Reviews
The characters are so unlikeable that viewers will be rooting for them all to get their just desserts.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 2, 2025
Unfortunately, its ridiculousness and the in-your-face sleaze factor doesn't leave the viewer feeling anything.

This plot has more holes than a slice of baby Swiss.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 1, 2018
While [The Loft] never quite achieves its loftier ambitions, it is intriguing enough to overcome its B-level trappings.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 24, 2018
The Loft suffers from a terrible script, erratic direction that has no idea what to focus on, and some horrible acting, but at least it is able to justify its existence as trashy entertainment
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 2, 2017
This film isn't a guilty pleasure and it's not a thriller. It's just dumb.
| Original Score: F | Aug 17, 2017
Now, no one in their right mind would find The Loft to be a particularly great film, as it's way too silly, insubstantial and trashy to ever be that, but that doesn't mean it isn't a fun, compelling and trashy b-movie.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 8, 2016
The plotting gets too clever by half towards the end, but... this remains a slick and stylish whodunit.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 16, 2016
Plausibility isn't in the cards for this odious excuse for a thriller. This is all about sexy danger, for sociopathic, misogynistic values of 'sexy danger.'

Doubtless, the film's biggest problem is that the five male leads are distinctly unlikable.
| Original Score: C- | May 26, 2015
The problem with 9-Month Stretch is that is a movie is composed of good moments, but the uneven pace doesn't help the audience to engage with the plot. [full review in Spanish]

It's a common and ordinary thriller with a intelligent premise, but poor execution, wasted cast and late plot twists that are almost ridiculous. [full review in Spanish]

The characters in 'The Loft' are so despicable you won't care about what happens to any of them.
| Original Score: .5/4 | Feb 22, 2015
As so often in such locked-room whodunnits, the solution is both simple and complicated, and quite satisfying.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 13, 2015
Talented cast is wasted in sleazy, violent erotic thriller.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 6, 2015
Erotic thrillers are a time-tested genre, but this effort, scripted by Wesley Strick, is neither erotic nor thrilling.
| Feb 5, 2015
Despite a strong, recognizable cast, The Loft comes off a sterile, second-rate thriller more suited for the direct-to-video route.
| Feb 5, 2015
This new iteration proves such a dour hodgepodge of bad behavior, bald-faced misogyny and ping-ponging alliances, it's more alienating than alluring.
| Feb 5, 2015
The Loft is a film that can't decide what it wants. It's a male fantasy, and a cautionary tale. It's sleazy in concept, and timid in execution. It punishes its protagonists for their transgressions, then lets them off the hook.
| Original Score: C- | Feb 5, 2015
There's no redeeming this softcore nonsense, which plays like a script that Storage Wars stumbled across in Joe Eszterhas's old locker.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 5, 2015
