Reviews

The Fatality received generally unfavorable reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a low rating of 4.2/10, reflecting widespread disappointment regarding its pacing and narrative coherence. Reviewers often noted that despite an intriguing premise, the film struggles with weak character development and overused horror clichés. Critics from outlets such as AsianMoviePulse criticized its reliance on jump scares rather than building sustained suspense, stating, "The Fatality resorts to predictable horror tropes, failing to create a genuinely terrifying atmosphere." Meanwhile, some viewers appreciated the film's cultural references and atmospheric cinematography, but felt these elements were insufficient to compensate for its flaws. Unfortunately, the film did not secure notable ratings on Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, but fan forums and horror blogs frequently cite it as a forgettable entry in Taiwanese horror cinema. Overall, The Fatality is often recommended only to genre completists or fans of Kenji Wu.
