Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Mar 12, 2024
Charismatic performances and credible camaraderie are what set this apart from traditional slasher thrillers. Go to Full Review Ted Fry Seattle Times Feb 12, 2009
2.5/4
Packs a magnetic jolt of fearsome intensity. Go to Full Review Philip Kennicott Washington Post Feb 12, 2009
Donkey Punch is almost humorless, and there's no wink and nudge behind the mayhem to absolve us of taking its ugly, class-obsessed subtext seriously. Go to Full Review Kaleem Aftab The List Nov 4, 2018
3/5
The twists and turns come thick and fast as events spiral out of control, with Blackburn giving this formulaic and often staid genre an unexpectedly fresh garnish. Go to Full Review Kelly Vance East Bay Express Aug 16, 2011
At least there's not a bag-head haunting the ship. Go to Full Review Dave White Movies.com Apr 4, 2011

Victoria G @RT01779137 Aug 29, 2026 Not too bad as a claustrophobic nautical thriller but character motivations could have been made clear, the deaths more inevitable. See more Peter R @RT33966302 Oct 1, 2024 In short, a vile excuse of a movie. How it got a mainstream release, is certainly beyond me. See more Jun 3, 2021 Solid thriller with some unexpected turns. Although the tensions and relationships between the characters could have been more developed, it was a good story overall. See more Oct 11, 2018 Never watched it. Just wanted it off my watchlist. See more Apr 12, 2018 Sorta loses its edge at the end, but nonetheless still a pretty solid thriller. See more Mar 20, 2017 Okay but this was super funny, and it feels like it was unintentional but something tells me making a movie about privileged white kids backstabbing each other means the laughs were intentional.
