Reviews:
“If you like this sort of concept, I highly recommend the more visceral and horrifying movie Pledge and the better-executed horror-comedy screenplay of Satanic Panic. In the end, the film has earned a nod and a shrug. It’s cute, quirky, and the interplay between the friends is great, but as a horror film it is decidedly pretty lightweight.” 2.5 out of 5, The Scariest Things
“The film plods along. I never got a sense of excitement through its length. Sat with the sorority vampires, for instance, Jackie should have been oblivious but we should have had a palpable tension building, instead, it feels pedestrian – a none event even. The acting builds into that generally, nothing switching the dial-up…” Taliesin Meets the Vampires
“Super Hot never manages to generate any scares, a sense of danger or even some general excitement. It just plods along from Point A to Point B with a minimum of effort, complications or realistic behaviour. Even when it throws a couple of twists at us the film can’t work up any enthusiasm. Never becoming even intermittently exciting or so bad it’s funny, it’s just ninety minutes of tedium.” 1 out of 5, Voices from the Balcony
