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.

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.

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.

Full Review | Mar 19, 2023

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.

Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast

Aside from the final dispatching of one of its villains, there is nothing in here that has not been done miles better in countless Don’t-Stop-At-That-Farmhouse movies.

Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful

A nasty, nightmarish thrill ride from a master of gore, THE PRICE WE PAY is much more delightfully wicked than expected. I'm honestly surprised it isn't being marketed more as a horror film; it's pretty gnarly for much of its 90-minute runtime.

Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media

This genre-switching thriller likely hopes to entertain with its increasingly over-the-top plot turns, but by the time it gets to the good stuff, you'll likely be too frustrated by the dumb stuff.

Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue

... ramps up the gratuitous gore along with a clever twist that blurs the line between good and evil, although the tension dwindles during the chaotic final showdown

No discount thrill is high enough for The Price We Pay to be worth its rock-bottom terror.

Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...?

We care enough to see where things go, but them ending up dead or alive is inconsequential since the gore is the star. I would have liked a story.

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...

Richard Kuipers Variety

What this tale of crooks holed up at a lonely farm with a hideous secret lacks in originality it makes up for with energetic direction by Ryuhei Kitamura (“Midnight Meat Train”), excellent practical gore effects and strong performances...

Robert Kojder Flickering Myth

Even when the thrills exist, The Price We Pay is rough to watch. The best they can be said is that once it shifts genres, the filmmakers loosen up and have fun with the sick premise in gory and cartoonishly fun ways

Joey Magidson Awards Radar

A no-frills genre gore-fest, The Price We Pay knows what it is and never tries to be more than that.

Anton Bitel Projected Figures

if this film’s opening scene frontloads a little too obviously the notion that there will be a ‘twist’ along the way...Ryuhei Kitamura frames everything here with mythic stylisation, and delivers deliriously baroque TCSM-style grand guignol in the end.

Kat Hughes THN

The style of The Price We Pay shifts throughout, echoing the ever changing nature of the three act structure. On one hand, this all works to keep the viewer on their toes, but on the other, it makes everything a bit confusing and hard to comprehend.
