Village VoicePete Vonder HaarMar 10, 2015
Home Sweet Hell is a pleasantly unpleasant dark comedy, one that gives new meaning to "detached and subdivided" in the mass production zone. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMar 10, 2015
Obvious and jaw-droppingly bloody, it still gives Heigl her funniest role in years. Read full review

The New York TimesBen KenigsbergMar 12, 2015
While the oafish men come off poorly, the treatment of women as nothing more than schemers and monstrous Martha Stewart clones seems woefully past its expiration date. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinMar 12, 2015
A muddle of tired themes, bad behaviors and gruesome set pieces. Read full review

The DissolveKate ErblandMar 12, 2015
Although the film appears to be aiming for pitch-black humor, it’s all so mirthless that the result is genuinely ugly. Read full review

Heigl’s performance as a coolly murderous model housewife is the only real reason to even consider watching Home Sweet Hell, an otherwise flailing and risible tale of adultery, extortion and suburban malaise that suggests a poor woman’s “Gone Girl” — one stripped of all tension, style and subtext, and instead rendered with a level of over-the-top gore that would give even David Fincher pause.

The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloMar 12, 2015
Katherine Heigl has exactly one funny moment in the dire black comedy Home Sweet Hell, which is still one more than anybody else has. Read full review

TheWrapInkoo KangMar 10, 2015
A rancid comedy fueled by male entitlement and uxoricidal rage. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJon FroschMar 9, 2015
The kind of blithely confident, creatively impoverished dud that leaves you slightly stunned someone greenlit it, the movie has the distinction of feeling like a bad idea from its very first frames. Read full review
