Critics consensus

“This road trip horror outing may take one Shortcut too many to count as a truly satisfying journey, but refreshing brevity and a show-don't-tell approach smooth the ride.”

Shot in Italy, with an English cast, there's a crisp, almost fairytale levity to Alessio Liguori's horror adventure that sits oddly but not unworkably with its gorier elements.

If only someone had course-corrected the filmmakers on their own route to making this letdown of a horror road-movie, which gets off to a good start before losing its way.

Both an amateurish production and a mindless genre exercise.

A serviceable creature-feature that will play well enough with housebound under-'20s, the patch-quilt monster-movie/teen drama Shortcut is light on logic but buoyed by an engaging spirit.
