- 75Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghFilm Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghThe Super is well written and acted—two things that should be givens but often aren’t, especially in genre films
- 60The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Super isn't distinctive enough to make it stand out amongst the glut of urban-set horror films. But it is chilling enough to make glass-walled, modern high-rises a lot more appealing.
- 40Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayWell-made but generic, the thriller The Super is noteworthy primarily for featuring one of Val Kilmer’s first substantial roles since recovering from throat cancer. Director Stephan Rick works around the actor’s infirmities, but Kilmer’s offbeat charisma remains unmistakable.
- 30L.A. WeeklyRob StaegerL.A. WeeklyRob StaegerNaturally, not everything is what it seems; there are a couple of necessary untruths even in this plot synopsis. But the part where it seems like some excellent actors have been roped into propping up a hopelessly by-the-numbers horror movie? That’s totally on the level.
