Critical Reception[]

In his review for The Los Angeles Times Noel Murray wrote: "Give credit to writer-director Robert Hamilton for trying something subtler than the average B-movie, but his film could've used a few more cheap shocks".[1]

Reviewing for Starburst magazine, Martin Unsworth gave The Suffering a score of eight stars from ten. He considered that: "The Suffering is incredibly well acted, beautifully shot (making great use of the locations), and manages to build up an eerie atmosphere from the very start."[2]

Decay Horror Mag gave "The Suffering" a score of three and a half stars from five, and wrote: "Horror enthusiasts and cinefiles will appreciate the creative direction" ... "Hamilton and Scola designed a screenplay with key elements infused into every scene."[3]
