Leave your thoughts about Popcorn.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasPopcorn is such fun for lovers of schlock (intended or otherwise) that it hardly matters where it is set. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThough it isn’t even trying to scare you, this is a very nifty black-comic horror movie, one of the rare entries in the genre with some genuine wit and affection. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyA horror film that is less mindless than most in that it is both funny and gross. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrPOPCORN seems to be a case of too many ideas; the basic story could probably have made a very effective short. The acting in the film varies greatly, and some mediocre dubbing adds to the amateur feel. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonBeware of horror films that begin with a bad dream -- they usually go on that way as well. Case in point: Popcorn, which has several good ideas that, unfortunately, go unrealized. |
| User Reviewvillain_editsMuito divertido, adorei o ritmo, a ideia, as mortes (Apesar de não serem super violentas), a ambientação do cinema é muito foda, queria muito participar de algo assim. Pra mim o filme só erra no final, por mais que a revelação do assassino seja surpreendente pra mim eu achei toda a motivação meio paia e fica bem meh no fim. Mas ainda sim recomendo muito pra fãs de slasher e cinema. |
