Reviews
The Squealing Game has garnered a mixed response from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a moderate rating of 6.3/10, reflecting a combination of appreciation for its atmosphere and some criticism about pacing. Reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes have praised the film’s authentic depiction of the harsh wilderness setting and the compelling performance by Paul Doucet, noting that 'the film effectively creates an immersive sense of tension and moral ambiguity.' However, some critics have pointed out that the storyline occasionally struggles to maintain momentum, with The Guardian commenting, 'While the premise holds promise, the narrative unfolds with uneven pacing that may leave some viewers disengaged.' Metacritic’s score reflects this division, with the film receiving average scores that highlight its strengths in character development but critique its uneven plot execution. Fans of atmospheric thrillers appreciate the movie's stark cinematography and the moral questions it poses, though it may not fully satisfy viewers expecting fast-paced action or clear resolutions.
