Reviews

Cutterhead has received a mixed reception from critics, with some praising its claustrophobic atmosphere and tense storytelling. The Hollywood Reporter described it as 'a gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat' while IndieWire called it 'an intense exploration of human psyche under pressure'. On the other hand, some critics found the pacing slow and the character development lacking depth. The Guardian noted that 'despite its tension, the film falls short in providing a deeper emotional connection with its characters'. Despite the polarized opinions, Cutterhead has garnered an average rating of 6.2/10 on IMDb, indicating a moderate but divergent response from audiences and critics alike.
