Critic Reviews

Smartly directed by Jim Gillespie from a script by various hands, Venom is from Dimension Films and follows its stylish, energetic and darkly amusing horror movie tradition.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

Acquits itself well enough. Gratuitously gory and derivative to the core, Venom manages to deliver some effective frights in between large swaths of voodoo gibberish.Full Review

Justin Chang
Variety

Venom certainly can't be called a good movie, but within its genre it's perfectly palatable.Full Review

Anita Gates
The New York Times

Gillespie showed a real knack for '80s-style retro horror with "I Know What You Did," and while a few sequences here have the familiar-but-enjoyable framing and stylization of an old EC horror comic, his material defeats him.Full Review

Nathan Rabin
The Onion (A.V. Club)

This misbegotten horror film deserved to go direct to video. Or cable. Or oblivion.Full Review
