Critic Reviews:
Piercing is a propulsive, intricately crafted thriller that plays like the twisted lovechild of American Psycho and Phantom Thread.
– Collider
Piercing is a stylish exercise in retro horror-thriller filmmaking, but its stabs (no pun intended) at something deeper are mostly ineffective.
Piercing feels like a throwback to ’70s exploitation films, not just by the stylistic opening credits but the overall tone of the film. Somehow the dark comedy and horrifying events blend to create a perfect storm of insanity.
