Critic Reviews

John DeFore

Funny, bitter and sometimes bleak, the picture draws much of its appeal from a deadpan performance by star Matti Onnismaa. Read full review

Christopher Machell

Teemu Nikki's Euthanizer reveals itself to be an affecting examination of cruelty. Read full review

The Playlist Eli Fine

In Euthanizer, director Teemu Nikki has successfully created a cinematic metaphor for contemporary world politics, one that is full of unexpected plot developments and a surprisingly thoughtful take on personal morality. Read full review

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky

Nikki, who appears to be making the most of an extremely limited budget, has attempted to make something like a modern-day take on the creepy, kinky, deeply personal B-movie, studiously avoiding anything that would smack of revivalism; after all, no authentic B-movie ever set out to look like a B-movie. The surrealists would have liked this film. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

The script’s more grotesque aspects integrate well enough into a portrait of everyday life among the least-reputable citizens of a grime-flavored community...while the film’s grungy aesthetic likewise keeps the bizarre story feeling at least somewhat grounded. Read full review

It is a dark and often disturbing, boundary-pushing film, but the detached, almost ironic performance style provides a means to talking about taboo topics. Read full review

Euthanizer shocks from the outset, and nauseates by the conclusion. Exactly what fans of this gut-churning genre sign up for. Read full review

It's seems like a study on cruelty and alienation and while I think it was good the story never interested me enough. I don't know if that makes sense, it's just that all the characters are unpleasant and I know the story makes them to be like that but I felt detached.
