Critic Reviews

Wesley Morris

A chillingly effective documentary. Read full review

Noel Murray

Cropsey is compelling as a meditation on how we use stories to explain the inconceivable, and how if no story is handy, we take the available clues and make one up. Read full review

Eric Hynes

With tinkling thriller music and dramatic voiceover narration, this modest but engrossing first-person documentary comes on like a true crime caper. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

On several levels, this film is a real-life horror story that puts most Hollywood movies to shame. Read full review

Mark Olsen

The story of the unsolved abductions and the man who might have become the scapegoat for a community is troubling enough. No big-screen trickery is required. Read full review

John Anderson

Cropsey has all the trappings of a true-crime TV special, but with an undercurrent of cultural exposition that is intelligent, profound and unsettling. Read full review

Nicolas Rapold

Embracing what's really standard tabloid fodder of the decade with earnest engagement and doled-out suspense, Cropsey is one step from macabre comedy. Read full review

Maravilloso documental con tintes de terror; con una direccion excelente, hipnotizante, macabra y terrorifica. Sigue una narrativa clasica de documental, sin embargo es efectiva e interesante.

Based on a true story that still haunts Staten Island. Cropsey works a documentary about a distraught serial killer, but also works as the type of movie that you won't be forgetting any time soon.
