Critic Reviews

  • Robert Koehler, Variety

    Excision is technically polished juvenilia that provokes without resonance.

  • Erik Childress, eFilmCritic.com

    A dark comedy that may not quite be Lucky McKee's masterful May but should earn fans along the lines of Ginger Snaps and Teeth

  • Chris Bumbray, JoBlo's Movie Emporium

    While it's more than a little sick, and will likely leave you queasy by the time the credits roll, EXCISION is nonetheless a truly unique horror ride into the scariest of all places- the mind of a teenaged misfit.

  • Scott Weinberg, FEARnet

    It's the take-no-prisoners enthusiasm with which Bates leaps into his suburban nightmare that makes Excision so interesting.

  • Nathan Rabin, AV Club

    Excision is a supremely nasty piece of work in the best way possible.
