Reviews:
“You Might Be the Killer goes out of its way to poke fun at the horror tropes we’ve all become used to. It doesn’t necessarily land every joke, but it remains fun to watch even when it falters. It also takes time to show respect to the genre, giving the audience plenty of good kills, a chase scene or two, and even an attempt to light the killer on fire.” Enderwing, Birth. Movies. Death.
“Meta horror is a tricky thing to pull off these days […]You Might Be the Killer can’t quite match the greatness of Cabin in the Woods or the heart of The Final Girls, but it’s a solid if slight piece of slasher comedy that’s made with love, for the people who love the genre.” Haleigh Foutch, Collider
“The film doesn’t hold off too long on who the killer is that’s rampaging around the camp, and I won’t reveal that now, but it’s less concerned with “who” and more focused on the “why” and “what do I do about it?” This is what I love about the film—it explores the concept of what would happen if Jason Voorhees grew a conscience and started pondering the ramifications of his murder spree.” Nathan Smith, Daily Dead
“Even when it’s a little obvious and slightly monotonous, Kranz and Hannigan are engaging, the large supporting cast plays their stereotypical victim roles well, the gore is great, and it’s fun to try and guess where this is all going. Most of the time, you’ll guess right, but that’s basically the point.” Germain Lussier, io9
