The trend of skipping audio commentaries in favor of shorter featurettes continues here, with no complaints…
…the tone is masterfully sustained, even if one can’t apply similar accolades to the content.
…for all its jaw-dropping shoddiness, there’s still something smarmily endearing about it.
…a behind-the-scenes documentary proves to be surprisingly extensive.
…so many baffling and unaccountable jumps in the storyline that the viewer gets discombobulated…
The film’s humor has a zany appeal; it just depends on how much vulgarity one can take.
…doesn’t have many fresh twists to add to the by-now well-worn path…
…a straightforward, back-to-basics horror drama that looks great…
…[THE OBJECTIVE]
elicits a sense of foreboding even in the sunlit, wide-open spaces.
…a remarkably moving and genuinely frightening evocation of childhood terrors, fantasies and frailties…
…the general ominous mood is sustained throughout…
…of more aesthetic than visceral interest to genre buffs, but it’s of interest nonetheless.
…quickly settles into a torpid tone broken every so often by moments of preposterous luridness…
…a movie that slasher fans, gorehounds and NYU film students can view together in harmony.
…a lazy, lifeless, senseless insult to the horror genre…
…good, trashy fun—up to a point.
…it’s during the human/crocodile interaction that ROGUE truly comes into its own…
If anything, it's even more deranged than Henenlotter's previous works…
…a taut and solid hour and a half of good old-fashioned chills and thrills.
…makes you wonder where [the director's] exploitation-film priorities are.
…a very satisfying return to form by one of the genre’s greatest practitioners…
…the imagery—from the black-tressed Asian female specter on down—has no chance to make a fresh impact.
All the derivations become wearying before the halfway point…
…a consistently entertaining thrill ride through refreshed terrain of the most demented kind.
…the rest of the movie doesn’t quite live up to that opening promise.
