Critic Reviews for Bloody Hell

All Critics (54) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (49) | Rotten (5)

"Bloody Hell" is an assured work, confident in what it is and not trying to be what it isn't. For a rom-horror-com that works on all fronts, that's a job well done.

Adam Graham
Detroit News
Grierson's maniacal, hyperactive work certainly lives up to its title, thanks to O'Toole's engaging demeanor and comic timing and one hell of a screenplay from Robert Benjamin.

Randy Myers
San Jose Mercury News
Bloody Hell is blissfully, absurdly over-the-top, but in a twistedly charming way.

Richard Whittaker
Austin Chronicle
A brisk, just-funny-enough escape thriller.

Everyone involved with "Bloody Hell" is doing their jobs with creativity and gusto, even if it's hard to discern any larger point.

It's a buffet of only sour dishes, a rank fete of foulness.

New York Times
Bloody Hell is a lot of fun. The characters are fun, the dialogue between Rex and his Ego is fun, even the camerawork is fun. If you don't like fun, I wouldn't recommend it.

Jonathan DeHaan
Nightmare on Film Street
Bloody Hell manages to take on the tough guy trope and give it self aware freshness in a completely different way than American Psycho and Fight Club.

One of the film's greatest assets is its willingness to pull the rug out from under the viewer purposefully and continually throughout its running time.

Highly effective genre-blender. Manages to keep you engaged and entertained from beginning to end.

Bloody Hell, in the most perfect of ways, takes the most intense situations and manages to throw in absolutely absurd humor in a flawless fashion.

Kyle Bain
Film Threat
Ben O'Toole's kitschy, entertaining dual role is the least-bad things about Bloody Hell, which is drowning in grating, post-Tarantino stylistic flourishes.
