Horror. Comedy. Fantasy In the barrio of Oak Springs live a strong and stubborn group of elderly friends who refuse to be gentrified. Their leader, Lupita (Barraza), keeps them together as a community, a family. But little did they know, their beloved Bingo Hall is about to be sold to a much more powerful force than money itself.

	Author	Review
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"Lupita is the precise type of heroine you want in your corner when a Faustian figure rolls into town (...) Bingo Hell introduces a surprising cast of characters that rarely if ever, get to shine in a horror movie (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"A warmhearted look at what happens when an evil entity co-opts a retirees’ bingo hall (...) Despite the generally humorous vibe, “Bingo Hell” quietly accumulates an unignorable pathos"	POS
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"it would have done well by being just one hour long. Its runtime of 1 hour and 25 minutes does not work in its favor. Still, there is plenty for horror fans to enjoy (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Canada	Matt Rooney JoBlo	"Guerrero’s film is so fun and sometimes brilliantly macabre that the experience as a whole is as twisty, repulsive, and ultimately sweet as it needs to be"	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"The result is fun for a while. But with its few thematic and narrative ideas left underdeveloped, this 'Hell' feels attenuated even at just 85 minutes."	NEU
United Kingdom	Phil Hoad The Guardian	"It gets turgid in its final third but backed by director Gigi Saul Guerrero's cartoonish punch, Barraza's cantankerous grimace and hair-trigger rejoinders are a pure pleasure (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	John Serba Decider	"'Bingo Hell' has a few inspired moments, but never comes together (...) [And it fails] to deliver a memorable payoff."	NEG
United States	Brian Costello Common Sense Media	"This is an engaging horror-comedy that's as entertaining as it is thoughtful (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
