- 75RogerEbert.comRogerEbert.comDarkly funny and deeply twisted, 13 Sins grabs you from its startling opening sequence and doesn’t let go.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweThe Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweCreepy enough to get the job done, but not sufficiently extreme to fulfill the initial setup.
- 60Village VoiceChuck WilsonVillage VoiceChuck Wilson[Webber's] performance is crazy good, and so emotionally charged that viewers may be forgiving of a finale overloaded with silly twists.
- 50Slant MagazineNick PriggeSlant MagazineNick PriggeDaniel Stamm's film is solidly helmed, if expectedly over-reliant on unnecessarily grisly comeuppances that leave nothing to the imagination.
- 50New York PostKyle SmithNew York PostKyle SmithThe horror flick 13 Sins is passable enough when it comes to dialing up the suspense, but the “Saw” formula of a mysterious voice guiding our hero through a series of depravities has gone a bit stale.
- 50The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette Catsoulis13 Sins is occasionally inventive but mostly uninvolving.
- 42Portland OregonianMarc MohanPortland OregonianMarc MohanWhen the fly trapped in the spider's web is as clueless and selfish as the sap played by Mark Webber in 13 Sins, it's hard to muster much sympathy.
- 40VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangAchieves a modest degree of tension and dark humor before tilting into gory overkill, while its diffuse central ideas — about materialism, the dangers of playing God and the latent human capacity for violence — never really take plausible shape.

- 30Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiLos Angeles TimesMartin TsaiA "Saw" knockoff without the torture porn.
