Critic Reviews

Mike McDaniel

Everything is seriously tongue-in-cheek. The scares satisfy, and the laughs are earned. [8 Jul 2001]

Hal Boedeker

Cheerfully oddball ... The Chronicle is like a big summer movie, but without the bombast. Read full review

Linda Stasi

Aug 6, 2014

Sci Fi has done once more what the networks seem very often to have forgotten how to do: make watching TV really, really fun again. ... It's fun in the way that "Ghostbusters" was fun - funny, silly, scary. [13 Jul 2001]

Mark A. Perigard

Aug 6, 2014

"The Chronicle" seems to want to have as much fun with its stories as its viewers. [12 Jul 2001]

A basic-cable homage to "Men in Black." Read full review

Rob Owen

Aug 6, 2014

The hybrid style of comedy and drama in "The Chronicle" doesn't quite jell. There's potential, but it hasn't been realized. Read full review

"The Chronicle" is more a goof than a scare. [12 Jul 2001]
