Critic Reviews

The New York Times - Andy Webster

Apr 5, 2012

Mr. Brooks capitalizes on antiseptic, fluorescent interiors, while the score, by David Buckley, nicely accents stress points. Read full review

Village Voice - Chuck Wilson

Apr 3, 2012

After memorably sealing Ryan Reynolds in a coffin in "Buried," screenwriter Chris Sparling's attempts to make a two-ATM vestibule equally claustrophobic are less inspired. Read full review

Movieline - Alison Willmore

Even by the most lenient of genre standards, the behavior of the characters in David Brooks's ATM is ludicrous enough to make anyone grind his or her teeth in frustration. Read full review

New York Daily News - Elizabeth Weitzman

While ATM does offer a few jolts, we're paired with bland characters and an underrealized premise. Read full review

Variety - Boyd van Hoeij

Apr 11, 2012

Seems assembled from autopilot thriller material, with most of the dull dialogue devoted to plugging potential plot holes rather than anything resembling logic. Read full review

Slant Magazine - Nick Schager

Mar 29, 2012

If both good and evil characters don't behave in ways that make sense vis-à-vis their circumstances, any sense of terror quickly dissipates. Read full review

The A.V. Club - Scott Tobias

No, the indie horror movie ATM is not about a psychotic automated teller that charges the steepest of convenience fees - your life! - but it isn't much smarter than that premise, either. Read full review

For all of the negative reviews, let me just say that this is a very entertaining thriller, and it was interesting to see Josh Peck in a thriller, and the part he played was different, but he did well.

The movie is somewhat scary because many people can relate to that type of situation, ATMs are scary places at night. I'm not gonna spoil anything but I will say that the reason it didn't get a 10 from me is the ending. It wasn't the best ending I have seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for an entertains movie as a time waster, then this is the perfect movie for you,but if you are looking for a very logical movie with a big twist, then watch something else. I enjoyed it though, and I would probably enjoy a sequel.… Expand

ATM is very reminiscent of classic horror movies such as The Shining, Halloween, and Misery and seems to draw from modern successes such as The Strangers and The Collector.

The film is simple, which clearly works to it's advantage. There is, thankfully, no nudity or vast amounts of unneeded gore or profanity either. It is clear and to the point, three victims trapped in extreme conditions by a mysterious killer.

Honestly, my wife and I loved this film despite the extremely low and negative reviews it has been given. Furthermore, I'd probably place ATM as one of my top 15 favorite horror films. It's all here, good acting, tense scenarios, suspense, action, horror, and intrigue. The film doesn't draw anything out and flows extremely well from beginning to end. We even found ourselves actually liking the characters!

If you like movies with extreme conditions, survival, horror elements, scarcity of unneeded gore and profanity, and a straightforward plot, look no further. ATM satisfies its purpose. A highly engaging and entertaining film.… Expand

This movie is boring in the beginning. Images don't really explain much, just made me confused. Takes too long to get to the main plot. Some predictable parts. Many loose ends. Ending suggests sequel maybe?? Bland characters, just explains that they are co-workers. Despite all thatThis movie is boring in the beginning.

ATM, cool idea, but bad development. The idea is good (but some strange), the beginnig is good, after we have some great and scare moments, but finally is like a boring movie. The cast is really good, but have some terrible moments.

Despite obvious plot holes and frustrating dialogue, ATM is a solid horror that manages to deliver due to its suspenseful scenes and imagery. All around decent.

ATM, a horror/suspense film with average performances and above acceptable suspense has an ending that will make you wish their were a sequel. Full Review coming soon.

Terrible movie, not realistic and extremely stupid. Is more a parody than a movie. Remind me about Frozen.
I really don't suggest it to no one.
Is the only ATM placed nowhere, with no alarm, they don't have mobiles and as usual no one is passing there. Omg is really a parody of an horror movie.
