Horror fans should keep their eyes on the filmmakers - and Essoe, who gives a star-making performance.
Clark Collis, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
The degeneration into familiar genre tropes reduces the impact of the wittily satirical set-up, with the result that Starry Eyes fails to live up to its initial promise. But the film indicates genuine talent on the part of its directors/screenwriters.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
There are hints of satire beneath the goings-on, but if that was the intent, it's too veiled.
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Fresh
Though it's a tad overcranked in the final furlong, the sheer energy on display and a devilishly compelling plot ultimately win the day.
Richard Kuipers, Variety
