Cub (15)

Cub (15)

Adventure, Horror

Over-imaginative 12 year-old Sam heads off to the woods to summer scout camp with his pack convinced he will encounter a monster...and he does.


The critical consensus

Visually striking but dramatically flat Belgian horror from Jonas Govaerts.

**(*)(*)(*)Nikki Baughan, The List, 27/07/2015

Impressively nightmarish.

****(*)Kim Newman, Empire Online, 27/07/2015

The weird traditions and customs of cubscouting are the USP of this effective Belgian horror about a group of boys on a excursion in a creepy forest.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 30/07/2015

Flemish horror film becomes nastier, more sadistic and ever more derivative.

**(*)(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 31/07/2015

Not much adventure. Not much horror.

**(*)(*)(*)Matt Thrift, Little White Lies, 31/07/2015

The film creates a pleasing air of mystery that director Jonas Govaerts sadly loses all interest in sustaining.

**(*)(*)(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 01/08/2015

An eccentric build-up and some ingenious booby-trappery can’t quite compensate for the plotting holes in this cub scout slasher movie.
