4/5
"more than a great film, it's also the rare kind of non-fiction film that can actually open eyes."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Barsanti

"The Devil Came on Horseback means to upset you. To this end, it presents Steidle's photos and very vocal frustrations."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

A-
"Gripping, heartfelt and eye-opening film."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

3/4
"Both explains the rationale for the chaos in Darfur in terms we can all understand and asks us to follow Steidle's lead by demanding our leaders to act now in order to save the helpless people of Darfur."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

B+
"When you see a hero like Steidle feeling guilty because he couldn't do more -- well, it's hard to feel anything but admiration for him and the movie."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

5/5
"One of the most searing and emotionally shattering documentaries ever made about the indifference of the world to genocide."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

C+
"This documentary tells us two things. It's very bad in the Darfur region of the Sudan and the U.S. isn't doing a damned thing to stop the genocide there."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

B
"...a moving and sometimes gut wrenching account of this latest holocaust. But, with so much focus on Iraq, this fine documentary may fall by the wayside."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

8/10
"The collection of images that make up the first forty-odd minutes of the film are among the most horrifying I have seen in all my life."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
