Leave your thoughts about Come Out and Play.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenThough virtually without plot, the horror elements are effective given the graphic views of mass murder. |
| Village VoiceScott FoundasEven by the standards of the genre, the characters behave with astonishing stupidity, while Makinov tries repeatedly to mine suspense from slowly creeping up on his actors with the camera. |
| Bloody DisgustingBrad MiskaIf anything, 'Come Out and Play' is generic to the core, a cut and paste horror thriller that still manages to deliver on both production value and intensity. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergDemands a little patience but also delivers some nasty chills in return. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThis nastily efficient horror film delivers genuine chills. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisStripped down and edited for disequilibrium rather than clarity, “Play” is less interested in pandering to gorehounds than in highlighting our reluctance to view children as anything other than innocent. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonThese kids are not your usual tourist fare. Look out young marrieds! |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoWhile I'd personally rather pop in Who Can Kill A Child?, viewers new to the subject will find Makinov's remake interesting, but they should know it's already been done before - and better. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferOccasionally creepy, but mostly inert, unimaginative and tedious. |
| Movie HabitMarty MapesCreepy, troubling idea drains away through a gaping plot hole |
