Him-Header

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
    • Excerpt: It has a lot of bravado, and it flexes its cinematic muscles all over the screen, but when we look underneath the veneer, we don’t find much bubbling inside.
  • Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
    • Excerpt: Him is more than a disaster. It is a horribly boring, nonsensical film, drowning in its vapid visuals.
  • Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
    • Excerpt: A football-themed movie like Him coming out just as the football season is ramping up would seem to be perfect timing, but the story doesn’t succeed as either a commentary on the sport or a type of horror film. Football may be a brutal game to play, but sitting through this film might hurt your brain even more.
  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: Justin Tipping purportedly wanted to critique football with a body horror film, but instead he’s delivered something that is at once obvious and muddled, a film more committed to flashy style than coherence…the biggest disappointment of the year.
  • Kristian Lin @
    • Excerpt: The play calls don’t make sense in this football horror film.
  • Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
    • Excerpt: Him is a major fumble despite Marlon Wayans and Tyriq Withers giving game-changing performances. That soundtrack is fire though.
  • Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
    • Excerpt: Life. The Bible. Personal mental struggles. The extraordinary cruelty we put ourselves through to be counted as “great.” How childhood dreams turn into adult nightmares. All of it and none of it.
  • [New] | Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
    • Excerpt: Marlon Wayans and Tyriq Withers battle it out to be the greatest football player of all time in Justin Tipping’s modern horror, Him.
  • Andrew Wyatt @ The Take-Up
