An ingenious and spoofy little shocker that with knowing affection pays tribute to irresistibly schlocky vintage exploitation pix. Jun 20, 2013 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Though it isn't even trying to scare you, this is a very nifty black-comic horror movie, one of the rare entries in the genre with some genuine wit and affection. Sep 7, 2011 | Rating: B | Full Review…

[Popcorn] is the best spoof of its kind since Alligator. It's especially funny when it allows the audience to see sequences from the movies-within-the-movie, each of which recalls some piece of cherished junk out of the 1950's or 60's. May 20, 2003 | Rating: 3.5/5

The film's metafiction and sense of intertextuality with other horror movies, as well as the genre itself, really sells the entire horrific deal. May 1, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Popcorn has a lot going for it. There are some solid performances, the films-within-the-film are witty pastiches of sci-fi and horror of previous years, and it's all done with a good-natured sense of fun. Oct 15, 2018 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

It is the recreation of these old horror movies that provide Popcorn with its few inspired moments... Unhappily, the real movie proceeds in the interim. Jun 20, 2013 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Popcorn seems to be a case of too many ideas; the basic story could probably have made a very effective short. Jun 20, 2013 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

While it's not campy or spoofy enough to be worth its salt, this campy, spoofy horror movie shows some ingenuity and generates an occasional controllable chuckle. Jun 20, 2013 | Full Review…

The plot becomes repetitive and tiresome, though the movies-within-the-movie (created by the filmmakers, rather than pulled from the film vaults) are funny. Jun 20, 2013 | Full Review…

The festival structure gives director Mark Herrier a chance to parody the delirious contrivances of '50s black and white horror to some effect, but the mock scenes are never as funny as the real thing. Jun 20, 2013 | Full Review…

It's just sad that it's not an iconic or even memorable slasher title in the sub-genre. Oct 12, 2012 | Full Review…
