"disturbing in all the right ways, turning an incredible real-life story of human callousness and suffering into a tawdry entertainment that makes guffawing, sociopathic rubbernecks of us all."
Channel 4 Film
Anton Bitel
"Quite happily politically incorrect,
Stuck
pins everyone, including viewers."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
1.5/4
"Stuart (
Re-Animator
) Gordon's murky misuse of Mena Suvari and Stephen Rea makes John Carpenter movies look like Art."

David N. Butterworth
3.5/4
"...a brutal, thoroughly engaging horror effort..."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
B-
"Gordon's fantastic finale is immensely satisfying, more than compensating for the prior weaknesses."
EricDSnider.com
Eric D. Snider
"A compact, lurid tabloid item that blows the lid off mundane human insensitivity"
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
B
"A nasty little thriller, but an effective--and sometimes gruesomely funny--one."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2.5/4
"Whether it's worth the price of a ticket is a matter of individual taste and whether there's sufficient interest in the premise to excuse the hit-and-miss execution."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
3.5/5
"Stuart Gordon (
Re-Animator
) turns this grim item from the stranger-than-fiction file into a provocative thriller in which horror and suspense collide with biting social commentary."
Boxoffice Magazine
John P. McCarthy
"The first few scenes of
Stuck
are rigorous, assured, and full of promise, which makes the film's subsequent devolvement into empty-headed slasher terrain all the more distressing."
UGO
Keith Uhlich
B-
"Director Stuart Gordon ripped the 2001 story of Chante Mallard from the headlines and has fashioned a startling morality play while serving his fan base with blackly humorous, squirm inducing gore."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
4.5/5
"A fresh and rewarding take on cinematic terror."
Film Threat
Matthew Sorrento
4/5
"Fans who like their films darkly humorous and filled with scathing social commentary (both subtle and obvious) should find Stuck to their liking."
The Horror Geek
Mike Bracken
2.5/4
"Gordon shoots his material's descent into grotesqueness (of both a physical and ethical sort) with jagged briskness that amplifies his scenario's mordant humor."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
4.5/5
"Gordon's best film since his ineffable Re-Animator"
Filmcritic.com
Paul Brenner
4/5
"A bitterly funny and genuinely angry portrait of a contemporary culture that has become so debased and selfish that it has become easier to refuse to aid a dying person for fear that it might inconvenience your own life in some way."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
C+
"...will attract the Stuart Gordon fans and those familiar with the real events that made national news back in 2001."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
6/10
"A splatter flick that stays a splatter flick. In spite of some glimpses of genius, this film never strays far enough from the genre into potentially promising moral territory."
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
4.5/5
"The director approaches the fact-based story with equal amounts of disdain, fascination and bemusement."
Cinematical
Scott Weinberg
3/10
"To describe this as 'bleak' and 'brutal' is an understatement."
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
9/10
"A black-hearted ripped-from-the-headlines number that looks and feels like it could have walked out a '70s grind house just yesterday."
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
