2/4
"...the film eventually degenerates into a conventional and hackneyed mess."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
2.5/4
"People don't go to see movies like this to hear insightful conversations; they see them to watch a teenage girl get impaled on a tree branch."

"A lifeless, uninspired horror flick that ought to have been left in whatever hole they found it in."

Eric D. Snider
1.5/4
"
Venom
is indeed a horror show but for other reasons entirely...just another colorless creepy tale right off the conveyor belt of sluggish imagination"
Movie Eye

"There's no known antidote for a movie as poisonously bad as
Venom
."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
4/10
"
Venom
is about as animated as Ray the zombie; they're both still up and walking, not realizing they're dead and gone."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
2.5/5
"In reality,
Venom
is nothing more than the teenage slasher formula applied to the swamp."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
1/4
"This film contains a couple of bracingly mean sequences, but it cleaves so closely to the slasher-movie formula that it can't muster up any suspense at all."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
0.5/5
"The death scenes are so unimaginative and the gore is so minimal that you might miss it if you blink."
Film Threat
Michael Ferraro
C-
"Never strays from the mainstream slasher genre's long-decayed bylaws."
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
.5/4
"After
The Skeleton Key
, another lifeless Deep South horror movie charting the myriad frights of costumed black people performing defense rituals."
Slant Magazine
Paul Schrodt
1/5
"dead from scene one"
Filmcritic.com
Pete Croatto
1/5
"A film so awful that the line 'Can’t you de-milk him or something?' is not the worst line of dialogue."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
2.5/5
"
Venom
is too darn familiar to become anyone's dark-horse favorite, but I'd say it's worthy of a rental if you love the horror stuff."
DVDTalk.com
Scott Weinberg
C+
"... a competent concoction of familiar ingredients, smothered with gothic mood and served up with a generous helping of teenagers: skewered, slashed and stabbed."
