Critic Reviews

  • Charlotte O'Sullivan, This is London

    French-made zombie flick The Horde isn't up there with Night of the Living Dead but still induces some unexpected gulps.

  • Allan Hunter, Daily Express

    The Horde doesn't waste time on niceties like explanations or characterisation but if you like your action movies served raw and bloody it will not disappoint.

  • Jon Hamblin, SFX Magazine

    Unlike its more cerebral gallic brethren, it's content to bypass the brains and go straight for the nuts.

  • Scott Weinberg, FEARnet

    There's some real creativity and energy to some of The Horde's best moments; one can't help but wish they existed inside of a less irritating movie.

  • Anthony Quinn, Independent

    Why do the humans waste so much firepower spraying bullets below the neck?

    Nothing here that you haven't seen before. Not horrible, but not nearly as interesting or exciting as it thinks it is being. The French do love their gore, so if that alone is enough to sustain you...then you may really enjoy this.

  • Cynthia S


    Dismemberment, betrayal, fear, gratuitous wasting of preciously scarce ammo, flickering lights in the hallway-it's all here. Zombies that are difficult to kill, and quick to attack.....awesome!! I wish that it had a more concrete ending, however. I always have issues with movies… More

    Fairly run of the mill zombie "thriller", with a lame ending, no explanation, and no real social commentary.
