If you stick with it, The Cellar performs a kind of alchemy on screen: turning from a staid haunted house movie into a haunted house movie with a real sense of ambition and fun. I just wish it had more interest in its female leads. Read full review

It’s good without being elevated or necessarily great. But it has enough scares to qualify as a decent “dark place” movie without breaking the mold. Read full review

It's a solid Friday night spookshow with solid bones and a divisive finisher — harmless horror entertainment that at least strives to be better than ordinary. Read full review

If horror flicks came in cans like fake spaghetti, this would be the kind of can-shaped wormy mess that would slowly ooze out when held upside down and shaken. Read full review

The Cellar has a cool and creepy set up but then fizzles once the answers start arriving. Read full review

The Cellar doesn't even need to be a smarter or even more faithful homage. All it needs to be is a little more of something—energetic, gross, thoughtful ... something!—to make it compelling enough to withstand comparisons to its many generic precedents. Read full review

Writer-director Brendan Muldowney is better at contriving striking images of horror, filmed with umbral gloom by cinematographer Tom Comerford, than at the character and story stuff. Read full review

Very good film with a great horror atmosphere. It's a pity that he was so weird, how otherwise great

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First 10 minutes I was yelling how dumb these characters are. Put the call on freaking speaker and use the phones flash light! The whole movie is like this. This is the same haunted demon house movie all of us have seen since the 70's. Nothing different here. Acting is OK but the characters were written so dumb. How do these people make enough money to support themselves with how dumb they are. Save your time and money. Go watch something else.… Expand
