What to Know

Critics Consensus

Traumatika offers stylish, dread-soaked horror with harrowing visuals and sound, but its scattered plotting can make it feel like a collage of nightmares rather than a fully formed narrative.

Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Sep 12
2/5
A few key performances bring the terror, as well as a very putrid horror scares, but the disjointed and incohesive Traumatika is never as controversial, purposeful, or as shocking as it posits. Go to Full Review
Matt Orozco Macabre Daily Jul 2
Although it struggles with a jarring mid-film pivot and managing tone between horror and dark comedy, it is effective and entertaining. And really, is that what we’re here for? Go to Full Review
Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Oct 9
Traumatika is a scary movie that will hit harder with casual horror watchers, for horror fans it will feel familiar and not all that scary. Go to Full Review
Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Sep 22
A gritty, atmospheric and creepy psychological horror thriller with palpable scares. Go to Full Review
Abbie Bernstein Assignment X Sep 19
A movie about demonic possession that arguably has too much going on for its own good. Go to Full Review
Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful Sep 15
2.5/5
Traumatika is bold, bleak, and brimming with potential—but it’s also one of the most frustrating horror films of the year. It begins with disturbing imagery and suffocating atmosphere, only to unravel into incoherence and shock-value storytelling. Go to Full Review

Juandi Sep 16 This movie had a lot of potential. There are some good suspenseful moments here & there. The acting was mostly cringe & the script was borderline comedy but not intentionally. Very much a straight-to-redbox film. See more JAVIER Sep 15 It was not good the way it was shot it felt all over the place and cheesy See more JOSHUA K @defmagic 3d I heard about *Traumatika* from social media and went in with one of two expectations: either it would be surprisingly artsy, clever, and good — or "so bad it’s good" and at least entertaining. Somehow, it was neither. They try way too hard to be serious instead of letting the characters act and speak naturally. The acting isn’t good, and the basic story structure and details often make no sense. It feels like someone wrote down ideas from their favorite horror movies and either used A.I. to build a generic demon story around them or just combined a bunch of bad ideas on no budget. If it had been fun or funny along with the "scary demon" story, it could’ve become a cult classic. Instead, I think it’ll disappear as something not even worth seeing once. I literally apologized to my friends and we stopped it 25 minutes in. Nobody seemed to fact-check the story, characters, or even how normal people interact — and I’m not talking about the supernatural stuff. See more Arthur R @RT88125953 Jul 26 Sporadic jump scares and a few decent performances are not enough to save this confused attempt at horror. Its not scary, in fact, its sometimes inadvertently funny, and it never quite lives up to its grand ambitions. I'd have preferred Amnesika See more Ethan R @NotUrRealDad Jul 3 It was a little jumpy in the plot, but anyone that complained they just felt "uncomfortable" missed the point that the movie did its job. See more Raven T @RT77010599 Jun 6 Worst movie of all time. Most uninteresting story of all time. Absolutely no storyline at all, poorly filmed. Genuinely made me uncomfortable 98% of the time. Toe sucking did not need to be included. See more Read all reviews
