Critics Consensus

Incident in a Ghost Land may satisfy horror fans in search of a nasty kick, but it's narratively flawed and decidedly not for the squeamish.

An effectively punishing critique of the relentless misogyny that has become a staple of every stupid Texas Chain Saw Massacre knockoff that pits sexually active women against emotionally disturbed serial killers.

Laugnier meticulously showcases sadism while seeming comparatively indifferent to matters of basic storytelling logic and suspense.

Transphobia and misogyny flow through the film as much as blood, staining what might have been a solid genre effort.

...it is not the gross-out factor that turns me off from Laugier’s second attempt at martyrdom, it is the casual virulence towards his characters...

3.5/5

Laugier makes many questionable choices regarding the film's villains, but those issues aside he has still managed to craft a bleak, visceral and deeply upsetting horror film.

3.5/5

While Laugier delivers a fantastically tense home invasion thriller, the politics - from the misogyny, to the transphobic villain, to the reverence for H.P. Lovecraft - make his creative decisions virtually unforgivable.

You have to stick with this one for the payoff. It is worth it in the end. If you love thrillers, this is for you. Lots of jumps with a great twist.

Absolutely amazing movie. Pascal Laugier does it again with another masterpiece of horror. Merci la France pour ces films qui sortent de cette horreur ordinaire à la mode Hollywood. Enfin une horreur recherchée, innovante, et saisissante.

Wow, such an intense and crazy film. I truly loved it. Heavy, surreal, intense, grotesque and yet still powerful

Definitivamente, es una película que no te puedes perder si te gustan las películas con una trama envolvente, claro que tiene puntos malos, por ejemplo, la película pretende ser muy cruel, pero realmente no se muestra ninguna escena de violencia extremadamente explícita solo te muestran los golpes y daños que tienen las protagonistas. Si ignoras esos detalles, la disfrutarás.

This movie’s pretty horrific. Trigger warning there’s sa in the film, it’s not explicitly shown but it is implied and it is disgusting and it does have a ripple effect thru the rest of the movie. If you’ve been brutalized by men then I just wouldn’t watch this bc it’s gross and sad. From a technical standpoint I’d say some of the dialogue made me laugh and the acting sometimes is meh, but I’d also say the movie is visually very creative, like the cinematography, house design, killers, etc. Its also pretty suspenseful, and overall a good slasher movie. If you’re a fan of horror movies I’d say give it a watch but understand that’s it a tough one. If you’re like me then you’d wanna know only this spoiler, yes it does have a happy enough ending.
