Years after a childhood prank goes horribly wrong, some South Central Los Angeles teens find themselves terrorized during homecoming weekend by a killer who is hellbent on revenge.

Critics Consensus

Thriller has an appealing cast and a fresh perspective on its genre, but those elements aren't enough to outweigh a bland and predictable story.

Jackson's, um, thrilling story often falls into the usual plot holes of classic horror tales... but the scare factor is often limited by the improbability of certain scenarios.

A haphazard assemblage of recycled parts from other, better horror movies.

2/5

Thriller attempts to bring a new perspective to a tried and true horror sub-genre, but it ultimately feels as generic as its title. Those who are familiar with Prom Night will pick out the killer's identity straight away, and the plot beats drag.

2.2/5

Like his writing, Jackson's direction is sterile, delivering tame, slasher-lite kills and matter-of-fact "thrills" with the aesthetic of an after-school special.

It's nothing we haven't seen before, plot-wise, but there are enough interesting performances and plot contortions to keep things interesting until the late-arriving mayhem hits the screen.

2/5

A worthy stab at the slasher genre, then, but with old-school slayers like Halloween's Michael Myers and Child's Play devil-doll Chucky still enjoying regular makeovers, the bogeyman bar remains too high for this underpowered effort.

One of the worst movies i have ever seen. It almost seemed like each scene was given one take, and nobody was working quality control.

Alright so I'm not going to speak in circles and try to fill in my review with A bunch of big words; speaking on the formula of the video. Outside of the cast, the adult of Chauncey's replacement was A horrible selection. The plot had A decent start but dragged horribly in my opinion. There's but so much A budget will allow so for music, I won't speak on. The angles were bad, & the sound effects lagged with the actions. The ending was more confusing then the entire movie. I'm not certain as to how the cliche violence, and A2B plot was thought of. But I see what was attempted. Movie is A no go for me.

I'm all for seeing my black brotha and sistas in films , but what I hate is all the stereotypes, the ghetto mom the ghetto black kids and the stereotypes run high as hell in this movie and I hate it cause we don't have to be viewed like that it was disappointing. I couldn't enjoy the movie because of it.. but overall the acting was ok and the plot was ok as well a bit predictable and then all over the place.. one second it's about the hood then black.issues stereotypes and percentages of the black male then back to the plot so YEAH WATCH IF YOU WANT TOO.. cute cast tho

The actress playing Lisa was absolutely terrible. If they'd used a different female lead, maybe i could have gotten behind it. Her scream during their little homecoming queen practice was so ridiculous that i literally laughed and had to pause the movie. As a horror and thriller movie fan, i don't recommend!
