Critic Reviews for Freehold (Two Pigeons)

All Critics (12) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (3)

As heartening as the downfall of Mim Shaikh's vile character undoubtedly is, many viewers will find his fate offputtingly gross and far too drawn out for the film's good.

Jason Best
Movie Talk
Works best as a darkly comedic riff on home invasion thrillers rather than a comment on cut-throat economics in the housing market.

Freehold deserves mention for its strong central performances and defiant artistry.

'Two Pigeons' features a stellar cast, solid acting. and a wickedly disturbing tale of revenge. It blends dark humor and drama well.

Horror Geek Life
A cautionary tale for Estate Agents everywhere, Freehold is a modern day chiller.

There's a very well-managed use of space, and Botet's performance has a lot more behind it than meets the eye, but otherwise it's a film that exists almost purely to show off a bunch of unsuspecting pranks.

HeyUGuys
It's deliciously petty in places and also includes scenes of excruciating ickiness which even Frightfest's hardened horror fans winced at. It's hard to believe this is Bridges' first feature, such is the confidence and poise.

Eye for Film
Delightfully nasty in the manner of the horror comics of the 1950s and Amicus film anthologies of the 1970s; an odious character receives an ironic comeuppance. It has rather more depth, however ...

This freaky flat-sharing flick is haunted by the horrors of the housing crisis

A hilariously cringe-worthy and darkly funny gross-out movie.

Birth.Movies.Death.
We get no sense of finality in the conflict between Hussein and his sadistic antagonist, leaving me with a bit of a "ho-hum" feeling at the conclusion of Two Pigeons.

Heather Wixson
Daily Dead
Two Pigeons is a dark comedy that isn't as fun or fluid as it should be, even if some truly deplorable privacy invading takes place.
