Leave your thoughts about Let's Be Evil.
| Radio TimesAlan Jones[A] cautionary tale that tackles modern schooling issues and refreshes terror-tot fiction like Village of the Damned. |
| Projected FiguresAnton BitelOnce the children have turned on their minders, the film's big ideas sadly get lost in seemingly endless scenes of adults running down hallways, hiding in rooms, & scurrying through crawlspaces. Whether real or virtual, this is numbingly clichéd. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayAdmirably imaginative but frustratingly clunky, the sci-fi thriller Let’s Be Evil is a technophobic cautionary tale that ironically demonstrates how fancy new digital filmmaking tools make a low-budget project look spiffy. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeThere's always a sense of something being held back, unduly restrained, so the film doesn't punch the way it should. |
| The Hollywood NewsKat HughesThe plot is muddled, riddled with plot holes. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyThe movie’s relentless one-note tone makes its final twist, such as it is, entirely predictable and pat. |
| HeyUGuysStefan PapeA film that is deserving of praise for its ambition, particularly on its modest resources - and yet too flawed a piece of cinema to earnestly recommend. |
| GuardianMike McCahillThe effects work is unusually sophisticated. Yet there's no dressing up some desperately ordinary stalk-and-slashing, and the budget undermines the world-building ... |
| Village VoiceSimon AbramsCo-writer/director Martin Owen downplays his conceit's most intriguing aspects — where are these kids' parents? — and instead focuses on monotonous chase scenes. |
| User ReviewJesse SNot a perfect movie by any stretch of the imagination, but still fairly brilliant. The use of color and soundtrack made it wonderfully tense and and atmospheric. The twist ending was a bit predictable, not to mention it could have benefited from a little clarification. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. |
