Critic Reviews

  • Brian Holcomb, CinemaBlend.com

    The film seems to be straining at times for an existentialism way outside of its grasp. This isn't Camus; it's Rod Serling by way of Clint Eastwood's High Plains Drifter.

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    Even by the questionable standards of the straight-to-video arena, The Traveler comes off as an unwatchable and thoroughly aggravating cinematic experience...

  • Staci Layne Wilson, Sci-Fi Weekly

    The Traveler yet another feature film with only a half-hour Twilight Zone episode materials' worth in it. That's not to say it's not worth a look, but don't expect too much.

  • Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com

    Kilmer's coasting, but who could blame him? 15 years ago he was Batman and now he's in the wilds of Canada surrounded by local actors forced to act menacing for the director of Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy. I'd be sad too.

  • John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis

    You know exactly what's happening about ten minutes in and how the whole thing is going to unfold.

    Horror chiller this is marked as LOL!! well don't go getting all excited because despite in the obvious lure of Val Kilmer this is pretty rank stuff. It actually starts off pretty well in a kind of 'Twilight Zone' type of way and I found myself liking the spooky… More

    After seeing this film, I'm pretty certain we have a new front runner for the "Worst Movie I've Seen All Year" contest. I should have known a B-Horror movie, starring Val Kilmer, wouldn't be any good, but once again I was fooled by one of those clever bastards… More
