Favreau and Diaz are agreeably blank as the cloying American everycouple, which lays the groundwork for a neat twist, but the film belongs to Slater and the devilish point in the arch of his eyebrow.

Reviews for Very Bad Things
Very Bad Things is a deliciously nasty morality tale that simply warns viewers that what goes around comes around.
06/29/08
A vicious, disturbing black comedy that delivers a wickedly entertaining ride if you don't take it too seriously.
03/04/06
...one of the more effective black comedies to come around in quite some time.
10/13/07
The most delightfully morbid film of the year, a movie that goes so far over the deep end with its outrageousness and violence that I couldn't help but be won over by the material.

...the film wages a war against one's moral senses in a story that's unforgettable.

He [Berg] stages several legitimately funny moments of ghoulish humor and builds the comic and dramatic tension to a hilariously out-of-control finale.

Shameless, eager-to-shock energy, with a crafty script and a flawless ensemble cast to match, make this beyond-black comedy a very good thing indeed.

Berg ... brings wit, energy and a twisted kind of joy to a story that's little more than a tasteless anecdote.

Very Bad Things is a well-constructed study of the human psyche and how it eventually cracks under intense pressure.
01/01/00
A Swiftian satire on white yuppies -- it's American Psycho with five psychos.

On a darkness scale, this movie would be a few notches shy of a black hole.
