Leave your thoughts about Aftershock.
| Film.comWilliam GossAt first, it’s all fun and games whenever somebody gets hurt, but that’s not enough in and of itself to sustain the movie’s tension. We’re left waiting for characters to die off without much of a vested interest in anyone’s survival. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressAftershock gets a little Sunshine-like ridiculous in its final act and becomes a bit too routine, but for a good hour this is a genuinely successful disaster flick with real terror, gory surprises and all the nasty fun a horror fan craves. |
| ScreenCrushJordan Hoffmanby coloring within the lines it is an effective midnight movie |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonAftershock is a pretty fun little movie if you don't take it too seriously and has an enjoyable nasty streak to it once the world begins to go to hell, only if you can forgive the extra-long set-up that gets us there. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonThe cosmopolitan cast never develops much chemistry, and the script settles into a predictable pattern of gory mayhem. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayRight up until the quake, Aftershock is a bland, sub-"Hangover" comedy about guys on the make in South America. Then finally, blessedly, the ground swallows up these shallow idiots. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumJimmyO...if you think you are going to be witnessing something in the vein of your typical death and destruction flick like THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW or 2012, you will probably be horrified by the depravity on display. |
| ScreenAnarchyJason GorberCertain to generate a slew of lesser imitators, Aftershock manages to shake free from expectations of banality, creating an extremely effective, unsettling experience. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoWhether Nicolás López was actually trying to be funny with Aftershock I'll never know, because I ended up laughing more than I intended, but hell - intensity and pace gleefully carry the film two-thirds of the way. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayThe first two-thirds are terrific, but it's marred by a gruesome finale. |
