Reviews

Critically, "It Cuts Deep" received predominantly negative to mixed reviews. On IMDb, the film holds a low rating of 4.1 out of 10, reflecting widespread viewer dissatisfaction mainly due to its predictable storyline and lack of character development. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 40% approval rating, indicating that less than half of critics found merit in the film. Many reviews highlight that while the movie has some effective suspense moments, it ultimately falls short because of clichéd horror tropes and a thin script. For instance, some critics noted that the director's effort to build tension could not compensate for the stereotypical antagonist and uninspired plot progression. However, John Anderson's performance was occasionally praised as a redeeming aspect, adding some credibility to the otherwise formulaic narrative. Metacritic scores were similarly lukewarm, averaging around 40 out of 100. Overall, "It Cuts Deep" is seen as a movie with potential that unfortunately does not fully deliver on its premise, appealing mostly to hardcore slasher genre fans rather than a broader audience.
