The Price We Pay (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Leslie Felperin Guardian Clearly this has been fashioned for viewers who think inventive special effects involving exploding bags of blood and baling wire are fun, which they can be if you have the stomach for it. Rated: 2/5 Oct 10, 2023 Full Review The Price We Pay (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com No discount thrill is high enough for The Price We Pay to be worth its rock-bottom terror. Rated: 1/4 Jan 13, 2023 Full Review The Price We Pay (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Noel Murray Los Angeles Times The cast is fine, but there’s a dispiriting dourness to the film. Nevertheless, after a slow start, Kitamura does offer up some impressive splatter scenes... Jan 13, 2023 Full Review The Price We Pay (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Joel Harley Starburst This is a film of two halves – neither one particularly new or original, but both of them directed by the singular talent which is Ryûhei Kitamura. Rated: 3/5 Oct 2, 2023 Full Review The Price We Pay (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Eric Langberg Everything's Interesting ...a violent climax full of campy, shocking, gleefully-gory imagery. If you’re the kind of horror fan willing to sit through an often-mediocre movie just to get those delicious morsels of daft zaniness, then The Price We Pay is for you. Mar 19, 2023 Full Review The Price We Pay (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Carla Hay Culture Mix The Price We Pay is yet another tedious and moronic slasher flick that's a very bad imitation of 1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. If you're going to copy a horror classic, at least make it compelling. The Price We Pay fails miserably on every level. Feb 27, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Jessica this movie was epic!!! Kitamura takes you on a wild ride. My adrenaline was pumping the entire time!!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review SJ Kim Surprisingly great movie.So intense, violent and gore. Final big kill scene was so over the top! Loved it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Emilliano Jr S Predictable but worth the watch. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Chris B This is a cut above the usual kidnap torture splatter horrors for two reasons, the back story of the heist is really well done and secondly it features really good acting (apart from Granpa). Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review bleach b Another psychotic sex movie, corrupting your family. They reach out from the screen to abuse your children. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Cristian s Baratita pero cumplidora. Tiene buen ritmo, la historia es desordenada pero no se cae a pedazos (que dure una hora veinte seguro ayuda), tiene algún giro decente, sorprende con buenas escenas de gore y efectos prácticos. Para ser una película de bajo presupuesto lo hace bastante bien. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
