	Author	Review
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"Even for undemanding souls, this is a pretty skeletal construct."	NEG
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Too bad the actors involved here are so inconsistent, delivering the equivalent of daytime-TV performances in scenes that are shot like late-night cable. Let’s not pretend that the hokeyness isn’t part of the fun though"	NEU
United States	Amy Nicholson The New York Times	"It’s a mess (...) [A] grim, miserable picture"	NEG
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"The greatest sin here is that 'Books of Blood' is too generic to be remembered, despite bearing the name of someone who redefined the genre (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	David Crow Den of Geek	"It’s unfortunate how little works about 'Books of Blood' when the narrative twists of at least two of the tales are pretty amusing in their final acts (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Katie Rife AV Club	"[It] somehow manages to make Clive Barker bland (...) If each of these storylines had been given a full hour, it may have been rewarding"	NEG
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"For me, all three stories worked really well (...) It’s a real horror treat for fans of the genre (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Jesse Hassenger Polygon	"[It] resembles a 1980s horror anthology like 'Cat’s Eye', only with more narrative ambition and less overall spooky-story satisfaction (...) [It] floats around in that mysterious netherworld between television and film"	NEU
United States	John Serba Decider	"It’s dull and bad and it sucks."	NEG
United States	Brian Costello Common Sense Media	"On the whole, it's entertaining (...) That said, some scenes are just plain dark, and not for everyone"	NEU
