New York PostV.A. MusettoApr 4, 2013
The movie's title might sound like a splatter-fest by Rob Zombie. But despite the theme, “Eddie” goes easy on gratuitous gore. What we get is a cerebral horror movie and a satire of the art world. Read full review

The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloApr 3, 2013
Beneath the surface outrageousness lies a surprisingly, satisfyingly dark little fable about the essentially cannibalistic nature of artistic inspiration. Read full review

Village VoiceNick SchagerApr 2, 2013
While secret handshakes are amusingly depicted as the key to building trust and friendship, it's Stephen McHattie's greedy agent...that truly hammers home the film's depiction of the art world as fueled by rapacious, kill-or-be-killed bloodlust. Read full review

It's a very competent black comedy, one that should please audiences looking for something with some bite. Read full review

This witty first feature is a flawed but diverting meditation on finding inspiration while losing your soul. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckApr 4, 2013
It winds up as little more than a mildly fun spatter picture that will be best enjoyed by undemanding patrons at midnight screenings. Read full review

Slant MagazineBudd WilkinsApr 3, 2013
Because the film clearly aims for satire, Boris Rodriguez isn't entirely guilty of indulging gruesome spectacle for its own sake. Read full review

Time OutDavid FearApr 2, 2013
As its title suggests, this is more of a self-conscious attempt to court quirky cult-film status. Nice try. Read full review

New York Daily NewsMiriam BaleApr 7, 2013
The holes in the plot, not in Eddie’s diet, are the real joke. Read full review
