Smart, gruesome, I like it. Wonder if it counts as another 'Airbnb is evil' type of horror flick.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

BORING... Nothing but guts and gore. No real plot, just a bunch of girls partying. It's like a popularity contest, if you're 20-something you might like this movie, only if you enjoy drama and murder? I can't believe I watched the entire movie! I am dumber now for having seen this. Plus, there's like at least 30 minutes of the movie just setting up the characters. No action - just fake, preppy, stupid girls! Did I mention how much I HATE social media, especially people who call themselves 'influencers'. Again, nothing but gossip and spying on people. Why bother? My advice.......... SKIP THIS TRASH!!

This was absolute garbage. The pacing in this movie is terrible and the entire concept would fit a 40min episode in a horror anthology better than a full length movie.

It does take a few steps back toward the middle and end, but most of the people whining about it are doing so because they feel like they'd have been one of the first casualties… It's goofier and less serious than you might think, but it's still solid.

I thought this movie was absolutely refreshing, and inventive for the horror genre. It has an extremely interesting cast of characters, and I just loved the whole storyline. Gory kills, lol. It's definitely a fun watch.

Craig Mathieson

The Age (Australia)

Barlow and Kane Senes, the film’s co-writers and co-directors, slip easily between satiric humour and gory ramifications. They get the genre’s conventions, but with Dee’s committed performance leading the way, they refuse to simply accept them.

Sydney Morning Herald

It’s far from perfect, but it has a fresh tone and the desire to take risks.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

Impressively unpredictable all the way to the bitter end – a very difficult and commendable achievement, in a genre as coded and conventionalised as horror.

Rated: 4/5

Tina Kakadelis

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

Sissy is a fun, gory slasher flick that’s perfect for sleepovers and viewings with large groups of friends. If anything, Sissy could have gone further in its reflections on the enduring effects of childhood bullying.

Sissy is a smart, sassy and unafraid wee film that knows its audience and yet never panders to our expectations.

Rated: 4/5

Terry Mesnard

Gayly Dreadful

Once Sissy embraces the slasher subgenre, it begins throwing fantastic moments of gore and violence at the audience while still keeping the tongue-in-cheek satire vicious and razor sharp.
