	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"This cheap, deeply silly, film about an evil hypnotherapist relies on too many smart people acting stupidly (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"[It] is entertaining enough to meet undiscriminating viewers’ needs on a slow night. But it does not escape a gimmicky, formulaic feel"	NEU
United States	Lena Wilson The New York Times	"[It] takes its cartoonishness to admirable heights (...) Drop a lovable lead into that mix, and (...) you’ve got a nice little popcorn flick."	POS
United States	Matt Fowler IGN	"The tone, beats, and premise of 'Hypnotic' feel very out-of-time and, subsequently, very inconsequential."	NEG
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"While the visual style and the pace of the movie is great, the story is too weak. Or rather, too predictable and irritating at times (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Nick Harley Den of Geek	"Siegel reconfirms her status as Netflix's horror queen, but 'Hypnotic' is another mediocre time-killer unworthy of her time (...) [It] wastes the potential of its silly but thought-provoking premise (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"For the most part, though, 'Hypnotic' is dopey, but never quite dopey enough (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"Apart from being a fun ride, there’s not much to say about 'Hypnotic'. It does everything you expect it to. It’s not to be discredited or overly praised (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Greg Wheeler The Review Geek	"It’s all fluffy, mediocre stuff (...) It’s a poorly constructed film, with poor camera work, a poor script and a poor 'twist' at the end."	NEG
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"Despite its brisk pace, 'Hypnotic' makes for a sleepy lull (...) The narrative plays it too safe and straightforward, making for a serviceable but generic effort (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Nick Allen The Playlist	"Silly thriller plays tedious mind games (...) One wonders what he might have done with the premise; we can at least trust he'd let the tarantula stay home"	NEG
