Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Mar 3, 2017
Even when Don't Kill It veers toward the ordinary, Lundgren is there with his lived-in face and playful eyes, waiting as ever to spring into action. It's great to see him in a fun movie again. Go to Full Review
Michael Nordine Village Voice Mar 1, 2017
Anyone hoping for more than a VOD time-killer that's occasionally in on the joke of its own ridiculousness is barking up the wrong tree. Go to Full Review
Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle Feb 28, 2017
In the perfectly self-aware Lundgren, [Mendez] has his perfect muse/foil for his brand of smartly/silly horror spoof. Go to Full Review

Don't Kill It is the very definition of the Sam-Raimi-coined "Spook-a-blast". Go to Full Review

Hermione S Nov 30, 2018 Although a touch overly campy at parts, Don't Kill It is a fun horror/comedy in the same vein of the Evil Dead.
George W Nov 30, 2018 People of a certain age will renember raiding their oldest siblings VHS stack for cheap gore fest/slasher movies. Inevitably, the acting was piss poor, the plot detail laughable and the production quality awful. At no point could you take it seriously, never mind (up yours, Mary Whitehouse) be affected by it. Society was never going to be undermined by pantomime horror. Watching this took me right back to those heady days of Driller Killer and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Like this, you couldn't decide if they were trying to be funny or just accidentally laughable. Nostslgia buzz aside - for which it gets it's star from me -this is pretty terrible stuff. One detail sums it up. The initial 'investigation' - and i use that term looselt -cites three separate triple homicides. A cursory count reveals two, followed by four then the triple. No amount of dry ice fog can disguise that maths. Dry ice fog! The most astonishing thing of all is that Netflix lists this under critically acclaimed movies. See more
Anakin W Nov 2, 2018 Action pact and entertaining. Good retro demon hunting movie.
Draco M Oct 22, 2018 Action packed fun horror movie with cool main star. Pretty original concept
George S Oct 12, 2018 Whadda load of old shite
Sep 3, 2018 This should more rightly be titled "Don't Watch It" - dreadful in every way possible. I do not understand why this currently has an 89% rating. Scroll past this on netflix, don't be tempted, it's 90 minutes you won't get back. See more
