Critics Consensus

Steeped in gallows humor, Stuck is a taut, tense examination of a tragic accident.

3/5

It's a shaggy-dog story that spirals into garage Grand Guignol, with Suvari and Rea well-matched in uneasy roles.

3/6

Gordon has directed drama, such as Mamet's 'Edmond', but also visceral horror movies like 'Re-Animator'. Elements of both are evident in this taut psychological thriller.

3/5

Stuart Gordon's low-budget thriller is so compellingly perverse that it transcends its humble premise.

A lean, nasty piece of work that deserves a wider audience than it is ever likely to receive.

4/5

Stuck is not only the most entertaining horror flick to hit North American theatres this year, it's arguably the top Canadian shocker of all time.

The true story of a man stuck in a dumb lady's windshield is gold in itself. And even though its not a slick production, Mena is able to make a little something of it.

Grisly, not only in its plentiful visual gore and gallows humor, but in the movie's gruesome depiction of human stupidity and selfishness.

ooo this was not what i thought it was going to be; i was very pleasantly surprised! i love this idea... & i think it could be executed better with today's film standards. i wouldn't mind seeing a remake or something similar in the future.

A real one trick pony. Yes, you'll feel stuck if you watch the whole thing. For Mena fans only.
