Critic Reviews for Ruin Me

All Critics (13) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (2)

At first glimpse, neo-slasher Ruin Me seems to be running face-first into the razorblade traps of postmodern spoof. Yet that glib and well-worn trope is just a mask to hide a more incisive kind of fright.

Richard Whittaker
Austin Chronicle
Around the midway point, "Ruin Me" takes interesting turns with both plot and protagonist, ratchets up the mystery, and treks into unanticipated territory.

Brent McKnight
Seattle Times
In Ruin Me, six people attend a 36-hour Slasher Sleepout, and - wouldn't you know it - start getting picked off one by one. Is it just a game or not?

Alix Turner
Ready Steady Cut
... it's a lot of twists that lead nowhere really and become frustrating as they accumulate with no real results or no real impact on the story and its ending. The lead is interesting enough and gives a good performance showing the strength to survive...

Emilie Black
Cinema Crazed
Although it's not perfect, Ruin Me succeeds in pulling off a few surprises in a genre that's difficult to do that in.

Amie Simon
Three Imaginary Girls
Ruin Me is deficient in all the usual ways that mark a low-budget indie horror feature, but for all its flaws, the film still has one undeniably gratifying hook.

Andrew Wyatt
The Lens
Despite some clumsy acting and a little forced dialogue, Ruin Me is a magnetic take on a new realm of horror entertainment.

Deirdre Crimmins
HighDef Digest
This concept horror from Preston DeFrancis tries to combine the shlocky guesswork of a whodunnit in with the craze of Escape Rooms to middling effect.

Matt Oakes
Silver Screen Riot
DeFrancis and Bissett's script never quite recovers its footing, resulting in a climactic chase that feels too drawn out... Despite the polarizing scene, there's a lot to recommend about Ruin Me.

Joe Lipsett
Queer.Horror.Movies.
Ruin Me is a rip-roaring ode to the slasher genre. With giggles, gore and homages aplenty, this is an absolute delight for genre fans.

While it might not reinvent the wheel for slasher movies, it's a decent effort anchored by a great central performance.

Daily Record (UK)
It's DeFrancis' feature debut and will certainly succeed in getting him noticed.
