Leave your thoughts about Big Bad Wolves.
| CinemaDopeGlenn LovellQuite a find for genre buffs -- a horror entry that's at once unnerving, sardonic and, in a sick way, almost playful ... Sholem Aleichem by way of Stephen King, anyone? |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanEven if you think you've seen this story too often, Big Bad Wolves will surprise and enthrall. A thriller which bites deep, it has a light touch which finds humanity even in the worst horrors. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfA semi-masterful suspense picture that blends the violent appetites of Chan-wook Park and Quentin Tarantino, pouring such delectable disease into a film that's hypnotic, even as it details unimaginable suffering. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumJimmyOThere is something deeply disturbing at the heart of Big Bad Wolves and I mean that in the best possible way. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisIs there a point? All the filmmakers seem interested in is the ugliness of the main Israeli characters. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterIt's dark, wonderfully twisted and laugh out loud funny... but it might just leave you questioning exactly why you enjoyed it so much. And you will enjoy it. |
| Screen InternationalMark AdamsBig Bad Wolves builds on the potential shown by the directors Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado with their cult 2010 debut Rabies, and racks up the tension and chills to impressive effect. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawIf it doesn't transcend, it at least builds on the right shoulders. |
| Time OutNigel FloydBig Bad Wolves requires a high tolerance for pain, but its wicked humour and oblique satire rip open Israel's paranoid, militarised system like a jagged saw blade. |
| Total FilmMatt GlasbyBrutally simple and brilliantly told, channeling everything from the Coens to Korean masters to create a blood-curdling black comedy. |
