Reviews

What a great thriller I've

"What a great thriller I've never seen Lili Reinhart and she's so good in this and all the characters are really well developed. A very intense flick and I'm happy I blind bought it."

— Bryan K. (5/5)

Well made film

"This movie isn't graphic onscreen, but it makes you think about some pretty horrifying stuff. Once again reminding us that nothing will ever be as horrifying as people on the internet, it works well. Excellent performance from the lead and well directed. Great ending lifted it as well. Worth seeing."

— Ed K. (4/5)

Incredible Film

"This was a great film. It basically has the same plot as the new Faces Of Death film, but it goes about its business in a entirely different way. It has horror/thriller elements but almost subverts those. The film has something else to say. Really recommend this one."

— Nathan L. (5/5)

Great watch

"Great thriller. . not as strong as the red room but defintly a good movie"

— Richard J. (4/5)

Goes nowhere

"Great premise with poor execution. The acting is fantastic. I loved the characters. I was in and ready for a payoff that never happened. Such a huge letdown. What was the director thinking?"

— Sue S. (2/5)

A Bleak and Timely Psychological Thriller

"American Sweatshop is a tense, uncomfortable thriller that taps into a very modern kind of anxiety. The story focuses on the psychological toll of digital work and exposure to disturbing content, creating a premise that feels both current and unsettling. It’s less about action and more about what prolonged stress and isolation do to a person. The characters are intentionally restrained, which adds to the cold, detached tone. That distance helps sell the idea of emotional burnout, even if it makes the film feel a bit clinical at times. The pacing is deliberate, building tension slowly rather than relying on constant escalation. It won’t work for everyone, but it creates a lingering sense of unease that fits the subject matter. Overall, this is a bleak but thought-provoking watch that stands out for its relevance and psychological focus."

— Tim L. (5/5)

A bloody good thriller!

"Not the normal type of horror movie that I would usually gravitate to but this was a blind buy and it did not disappoint!"

— Paul S. (5/5)

Great release

"Really liked this one. Great extras."

— Randall B. (5/5)

Great movie, great slipcover

— Cary B. (5/5)
