Reception
Jonathan Holland of The Hollywood Reporter described the watching experience as "enjoyable nonsense", considering that García Jonsson's performance "keeps all the nonsense just about grounded", carrying the film as a "credible and exciting Final Girl" whereas Oriol Tarrida ("The Liquidator") "does a nicely charismatic job of his liquidating".[2]
Sergio F. Pinilla of Cinemanía scored 2½ out of 5 stars, considering that "as energetic as it is reiterative", Sweet Home takes over successful horror film templates (REC, High Tension, Inside), but—bar some cinematography solutions—"fails to break those physical barriers that lead to the fourth dimension of horror".[5]
Jordi Batlle Caminal of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, and considered that, while warning about taking it seriously, it is "more than enough" with the "attractive production design", an "elegant direction" and a "grand guignol" finale, to the delight of genre fans.[6]
