Merely lurid slice-and-dice junk put through a Cuisinart.

Nicolás López's slick shocker turns into an unholy amalgam of disaster film and slasher flick.

Struggles to strike a tone between intense and comically cruel as it picks off its cast.

It's not my kind of horror flick anyway, but even for fans of gross-out gore-a-paloozas and campy humor this is a swing and a miss.

It's boring, overly gory and ridiculously executed.

...if you think you are going to be witnessing something in the vein of your typical death and destruction flick like THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW or 2012, you will probably be horrified by the depravity on display.

The elements all seem to be there but they're not compiled in a way that creates atmosphere or dread as much as they do confusion and laughter.

Utterly generic, but worth seeing just to experience Eli Roth -- movie star.

There's plenty of gore, but none of it is particularly inventive, nor does it engender any visceral or emotional reactions beyond jaded disgust.

Whether Nicolás López was actually trying to be funny with Aftershock I'll never know, because I ended up laughing more than I intended, but hell - intensity and pace gleefully carry the film two-thirds of the way.

Recommended to fans who've been thirsty for Roth's brand of blood.

There are a few plot holes and weak motivations exhibited by various characters but the sheer energy on display makes it easy enough to suspend disbelief.

Certain to generate a slew of lesser imitators, Aftershock manages to shake free from expectations of banality, creating an extremely effective, unsettling experience.

Aftershock is a brutally brilliant, blood-soaked horror destined to become a genre cult classic.

A schizophrenic but effective little combo of Hostel and Irwin Allen.

...it's ultimately impossible to shake the feeling that a major opportunity has been squandered here.

Aftershock gets a little Sunshine-like ridiculous in its final act and becomes a bit too routine, but for a good hour this is a genuinely successful disaster flick with real terror, gory surprises and all the nasty fun a horror fan craves.

The first two-thirds are terrific, but it's marred by a gruesome finale.

by coloring within the lines it is an effective midnight movie
