Leave your thoughts about We Need to Do Something.
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoEven the crazy twists of this story that don’t quite work impressed me with their ambition in a film that gets incredibly dark and narratively insane. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovThe cramped environs and the paranoiac thrum that runs throughout the film like a main circuit cable straight to hell are almost outmatched by a third-act explosion of horrifyingly excellent practical gore effects. |
| SlashfilmChris EvangelistaThere are moments of dread and tension, and as the narrative wears on it goes to some commendably weird places. But by then it's too little too late, and the movie ends with us wishing that the characters really had done something — anything, really. |
| The New York TimesNicolas RapoldDespite some nifty freak-outs, the movie’s buildup can lack a certain snap. |
| Slant MagazineSteven ScaifeWe Need to Do Something mainly succeeds at suggesting a more compelling film beyond its bathroom walls. |
| Film ThreatLiam TrumpWe Need to Do Something simply doesn’t have the character-centered backbone to create an engaging 96-minute long story. It’s painfully obvious that atmosphere and style were the priority even though the premise made it so that the characters took the spotlight. |
| The PlaylistBrian FarvourThere’s something present here, something perhaps even brilliant, but whatever that may be; it’s just not enough. |
| IGNKristy PuchkoThe cast is wasted in such lame roles, and the horror story’s uncertain tone falls far short of intriguing. So, despite one supremely frightening moment, this movie is not scary. It just stinks. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreIt’s never wholly fair to dismiss a movie just because it’s unpleasant to sit through. But that’s a good place to start with We Need to Do Something. |
| The GuardianMike McCahillIt’s moderately diverting Halloween filler – earning points for reviving Taco’s electropop cover of Puttin’ on the Ritz – but still way too static to become actually entertaining. |
