A suspenseful, violent horror film that touches on the inner lives of sexual predators, the question of guilt and remorse in the human soul, and the practice of torture.

Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer

Unpredictable, with a twisted surprise around each corner, Big Bad Wolves is a clever and arresting shocker.

Rex Reed, New York Observer
Rotten

There's little to the movie other than shocks and gross-outs.

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

It is an intriguing film with much to admire, but it doesn't always earn its pitch-black attempts at humor.

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

While Big Bad Wolves delivers the Hostel-like torture jolts with ruthless precision, the movie is also a rudely funny satire of a macho, paranoid culture where the protection of children is used to justify any conduct.
