Leave your thoughts about The Roost.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekNo-budget no-brainer...but West shows signs of real talent, even if he doesn't have the resources needed to put it to best use. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe Roost proceeds with such youthful enthusiasm that its rawness is more charming than annoying. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustFull of genuine scares and impressively disturbing effects. |
| Dallas ObserverLuke Y. ThompsonThe cynical should be warned that, as in "Blair Witch," most of the scares depend upon sound and editing rather than elaborate effects, but young director Ti West gets a lot of bang for his meager bucks. |
| VarietyRobert KoehlerDebuting helmer Ti West taps into the realist-horror spirit of mentor and exec producer Larry Fessenden, and makes a scarier pic than any by his master. |
| L.A. WeeklyScott FoundasThe Roost advances a nifty man-vs.-nature scenario that harks back to Fessenden's own "Wendigo" and provides a nice chaser to a summer movie season populated by cuddly penguins and benevolent cheetahs. |
| Film ThreatEric CamposIt's clear right away that The Roost is no hack job. It's made by people who have a major love for the genre and generally anything that goes bump in the night. |
| Filmcritic.comJeremiah KippAnyone who says they don't make 'em like they used to just isn't looking hard enough. |
| EmpireKim NewmanOkay video-dungeon-style horror, a bit marooned on the big-screen but nevertheless murky fun. |
| Village VoiceJoshua LandThe Roost proves that West has enough talent to do without the gimmick next time around. |
