- 90Film ThreatBobby LePireFilm ThreatBobby LePireThanks to the stylish direction and strong cast, the film is sure to terrify and delight everyone who dares to play along.
- 74PolygonTasha RobinsonPolygonTasha RobinsonIt’s appropriately goofy given the premise and the structure, but a brisk pace and a committed cast turns it into a diverting indie horror-movie spin on a familiar gimmick.
- 70Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThe filmmakers get more tension and even emotion out of this premise than most movies of this type do, mainly by treating the characters as multidimensional people who deserve a shot at redemption, and not like voodoo dolls ripe for the poking.
- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreGatlopp can show its budget and feel a little malnourished, here and there. And the emotional moments are mostly superficial cliches, with a trite, tried and true familiarity. But no cut-rate, scratch-the-emotional-surface “Jumanji” knock-off should play this cute, funny and sweet.
- 60The GuardianPhil HoadThe GuardianPhil HoadBelli’s supple direction – reminiscent of Edgar Wright’s pop’n’snap – keeps its energy levels high as it roves around the living room that is its main location; it also exults in the occasional set-piece, such as the players’ Jazzercise routine. There aren’t quite enough of these zany segues, but with a larger budget, you can smell the franchise potential here.
