critics consensus

While occasionally funny and relentlessly gory, Girls With Balls is neither particularly strong on cheap thrills nor a very remarkable entry to the trash horror genre. Read critic reviews

Critic Reviews for Girls With Balls

All Critics (12) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (7)

This is a deranged nightmare of wildness, as full of laughs as it is arterial sprays. It won't be everyone's cup of thé, but its joyously vulgar title probably deters those likely detractors anyway.

Kimber Myers
Los Angeles Times
Afonso doesn't push the cartoonish allure far enough into shocks or titillation, and he's not inventive enough to make up for the absence of cheap thrills.

Scott Tobias
Variety
Girls With Balls scores some points for its Z-movie conceits but could have benefited from stronger writing and direction.

The horror comedy is probably one of the hardest nuts to crack, and I feel like Afonso and his ensemble of badass ladies nailed it here, delivering the laughs and gore heaping portions.

Cinapse
A mixed bag that teeters on unwatchable, but is redeemed by some solid action...

Felix Vasquez Jr.
Cinema Crazed
Unimaginative, unfunny and relying too heavily on one-note sequences, this gorefest is vile, unwatchable thrash of the highest order.

September 25, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Shikhar Verma
High on Films
Girls with Balls has a lot of energy, gore, and a few laughs. But nothing really sticks to make this film stand out- or have a point.

Chauncey K. Robinson
The Twisted Girl Next Door
Nothing about this film is worth wasting time on it.

Joel Keller
Decider
Clocking in at just 80 minutes, Girls with Balls is a fun, schlocky ride that you can passively view, but you won't necessarily get invested in the characters.

July 27, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Audra Schroeder
The Daily Dot
Can't say it's great cinema. Can't say I didn't laugh more than once.

July 26, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Roger Moore
Movie Nation
A fun take on female empowerment and resourcefulness amongst the lashings of gloopy splatter.

June 5, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Adam Lowes
HeyUGuys
Girls With Balls doesn't atone for the leery "females vs. males" horror normalization of exploitations past, but it is a slaughter-tastic midnight movie about volleyball vixens defending themselves from backwoods killers.
