Its a stunning creature design and it definitely leaves a lasting impression.

The film has its moments, but it never quites succeeds as a compelling family drama, nor as a frightening piece of elevated horror.

Not because it isnt good, Nick Antosca sketches it out efficiently.

In execution, however, Antlers isnt much interested in expanding on its folkloric myth.

Thomas Lucas is a 12 year old shouldering terrible responsibility.
Hollywood Reporter

The psychological scarring is nearly too much to imagine, though del Toro doesnt shy away from subjecting kids to such hell.
Variety

Yet considering where the story starts, the place where Antlers winds up doesnt leave much to hang ones hat on.
Cnn
3.5
A genuinely haunting horror movie which revels in the slightly suggested, rather than the directly depicted.
Herald Sun
4.5
Its a dark and dreary ride, but happily, it also comes with a terrifically creepy creature as well.

Cooper doesnt give us that relief, though; the two never seem to have even the beginnings of a bond.
Seven Day Svt

However, thematically speaking, ANTLERS winds up biting off more than it can chew.
Assignment X
0.5
Of course, that doesnt matter much to a family audience, for whom this film is deeply unsuitable regardless of quality.
Parent Previews

Cooper takes much too long to get to the point and then the payoff simply doesnt seem worth it.

The monster at the storys centre is beautifully realised, and atmospherically shot.

The audience isnt given a reason to care about Julia, Paul, or Lucas.

The wendigo isnt a traditional monster per se, but a curse that turns anyone afflicted into a mindless, endlessly ravenous beast.
Crypti Crock

Everything is explained, and this isnt a plot hole takedown Antlers just isnt all that thoughtful as it lets on, made evident by its cut and run exit.

Unfortunately, I cant recommend better alternatives without giving away the plot.
The Screen Scene
4.0
Transcends the genre to make us reflect on our fears and the humanitys most hidden traits.

The films meditation on trauma and unresolved family pain feels rather mature and successful.

I suspect that if wed gotten this in, say, the 90s horror boom, it mightve made the grade, but in 2021 it just doesnt fly.
