Coyotes review

By Joel Humphries · Watched 10.05.25

★½ 1.5 / 5

Spoiler-free review

Coyotes is dumb without being fun, boring without being atmospheric and neither funny nor frightening enough to justify itself as horror comedy. If its hidden thesis is that Hollywood wastes money producing endless nonsense and should therefore be torn apart by wild animals or burned to the ground, the movie itself may be the strongest evidence submitted. Otherwise, I cannot identify a purpose. This was an entirely avoidable use of time.

Full review — contains spoilers

This was so unbelievably dumb. This was boring. This wasn't funny. This wasn't scary. This was an entirely pointless waste of time.

I think the point of this movie, if there was one, was that Hollywood kinda sucks, and wastes money on an endless stream of nonsense and should consequently be torn apart by wolves (coyotes here)  and/or burned to the ground. Agreed, if this movie is all we have to go on.
