Clearly this has been fashioned for viewers who think inventive special effects involving exploding bags of blood and baling wire are fun, which they can be if you have the stomach for it. Go to Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com Jan 13, 2023
1/4
No discount thrill is high enough for The Price We Pay to be worth its rock-bottom terror. Go to Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Jan 13, 2023
The cast is fine, but there’s a dispiriting dourness to the film. Nevertheless, after a slow start, Kitamura does offer up some impressive splatter scenes... Go to Full Review Joel Harley Starburst Oct 2, 2023
3/5
This is a film of two halves – neither one particularly new or original, but both of them directed by the singular talent which is Ryûhei Kitamura. Go to Full Review Eric Langberg Everything's Interesting Mar 19, 2023
...a violent climax full of campy, shocking, gleefully-gory imagery. If you’re the kind of horror fan willing to sit through an often-mediocre movie just to get those delicious morsels of daft zaniness, then The Price We Pay is for you. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Feb 27, 2023
The Price We Pay is yet another tedious and moronic slasher flick that's a very bad imitation of 1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. If you're going to copy a horror classic, at least make it compelling. The Price We Pay fails miserably on every level. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jessica Jan 14, 2023 this movie was epic!!! Kitamura takes you on a wild ride. My adrenaline was pumping the entire time!!! See more SJ Kim Jan 14, 2023 Surprisingly great movie.So intense, violent and gore. Final big kill scene was so over the top! Loved it. See more Rich C. @Cordu0702 Jan 24, 2026 Really good film. Great story and loved the setting of the film.Really enjoyed it. See more Emilliano Jr S @emill_santos Oct 23, 2024 Predictable but worth the watch. See more Chris B @Cwisbee Oct 16, 2024 This is a cut above the usual kidnap torture splatter horrors for two reasons, the back story of the heist is really well done and secondly it features really good acting (apart from Granpa). See more Cristian s @cristiansj Feb 1, 2024 Baratita pero cumplidora. Tiene buen ritmo, la historia es desordenada pero no se cae a pedazos (que dure una hora veinte seguro ayuda), tiene algún giro decente, sorprende con buenas escenas de gore y efectos prácticos. Para ser una película de bajo presupuesto lo hace bastante bien. See more Read all reviews
