- 70Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayGenre fans may be disappointed that Spell is more of an artful character sketch than a supernatural thriller. But by focusing on despair and regret, the movie is still pretty haunting.
- 67Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerAustin ChronicleRichard WhittakerGloriously gonzo Appalachian creeper Spell makes one big change – having both the urban family in peril and the horrifying hicks with malicious intent be Black – and that's a refreshing change to a genre that's felt moribund since about "Wrong Turn 2."
- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreHardley has conjured up an interesting twist to this “journey of healing” narrative, abandoning laughs for metaphysical pathos.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckHeavy on oppressively humid atmosphere and light on originality, the film is a mostly forgettable genre exercise whose viewers won't miss much by watching at home.
