Leave your thoughts about Septic Man.
| Assignment XAbbie BernsteinNot for the faint of heart, or the weak of stomach, Septic Man combines the horrors of serial killers, claustrophobia and psychological damage with a hefty continuing dose of physical filth. |
| Film School RejectsMichael TreveloniIt's a nasty character study that finds the subject deposited into his own personal hell, unable to pull himself out and forced to confront everything he fears. |
| Austin American-StatesmanCharles EalySome horror freaks are bound to enjoy the show, geeking out over [the film's] grotesqueness. |
| AV ClubJesse HassengerAs if the ravings of a lunatic weren’t dull enough, Septic Man eventually becomes the ravings of an idiot too. |
| Screen InternationalMark AdamsWhile Septic Man might sound on paper like a little gem that Troma might have made, it is rather slow moving fare with much rambling around in dark sewers calling out for aid rather than traditional horror fare. |
| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. LeeperSome of the same team who created the very original PONTYPOOL (2008) is back, though it is with an idea not so original and not nearly so satisfying. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoDespite glimpses of ambitious genre greatness and a strong turn from Jason David Brown, Septic Man gets caught up in being a gross-out challenge that can't shake such an off-putting stench. |
| VarietyGeoff BerkshireJack’s predicament is both revolting and claustrophobic, but he never emerges as any kind of hero or villain, just a passive victim, which makes the pic’s most off-putting quality its endless tedium. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinIt's a grotesque, deadly dull piece of cinematic upchuck, a horror film minus tension or chills. |
| Projected FiguresAnton BitelThe results, deeply unnerving, impenetrable and wrong in all the best ways, might well linger in your brain like a bad smell. |
