Joseph McBride Variety Mar 26, 2009
Not diabolical enough for true black comedy, too scary and violent for kids lured by its PG rating and witless in its sendup of obsessive TV viewing, Stay Tuned is a picture with nothing for everybody. Go to Full Review
Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Oct 9, 2020
A lot of fun with an admirably twisted sense of humor... Go to Full Review
Malcolm L. Johnson Hartford Courant Jun 6, 2018
Peter Hyams, who has flopped in virtually every genre, despite a strong visual sensibility fleetingly in evidence here, seems devoid of comic ideas at each heavyhanded turn. Go to Full Review

3/5
As a 1992 state of the art video sci-fi satire, not bad. Go to Full Review
Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily Jul 28, 2005
3/5
Has its moments...a second-rate screenplay is given a first-rate treatment by underrated director/cinematographer Peter Hyams. Go to Full Review
