Leave your thoughts about The Reckoning.
| The Film StageJared MobarakYou can’t deny its visual panache via immersive cinematography and production design. That it never embraces the supernatural element it teases is disappointing, but far from a dealbreaker. |
| Consequence of SoundRyan LarsonUnfortunately, The Reckoning is the biggest whiff in Marshall’s filmography. At its best, it delivers moments of optic greatness (a lightning strike-illuminating barn scene stands out), but most of the film is bleak and droll, full of a muddled script and lackluster performances. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe whole tedious affair makes one wish they’d gone to less trouble making a bad movie with tame villains, an uninteresting lead and confused (Was this recut to play up “the plague?”), scattered story. |
| The TelegraphTim RobeyDespite a spirited score and a few other redeeming features, The Reckoning is too clumsy, overlong and generally miscalculated to add up to an intelligent commentary on misogyny, or a satisfying riposte to it |
| EmpireIan FreerNeil Marshall’s return to his homegrown horror wheelhouse doesn’t reach the heights of Dog Soldiers and The Descent. Instead, it’s a witch-hunt thriller that lacks the texture to be realistic and the no-holds-barred energy to be pulpy. Sean Pertwee has fun though. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsThe ensemble cast members all dutifully perform their roles, but there’s not much for them to sink their teeth into. |
| The GuardianCath ClarkeThe film left me shaking with anger more than fear. |
| User ReviewColebraxDirector Neil Marshall is back with #TheReckoning, a lurid tale of disease, devils and witch trials. While 'The Descent' remains my favorite of his work, nonetheless I enjoyed Marshall's latest effort. My review: https://youtu. |
| User ReviewBitashPoor acting. No one is believable. After watching British Crime series (In the line of Duty), I could not stomach this. |
