Critic consensus

What 6 critics are saying

Critical reception for 3G is largely negative, with most reviewers finding the film a disappointment despite an intriguing premise. The Fiji setting and a reasonably structured narrative with a strong climax drew limited praise from a minority of critics. However, the majority found the execution poor, with the film relying on tired horror clichés, uneven pacing, and failing to deliver on its initial potential.

    Film review ·

    Good idea, lousy execution. This is a mess of a movie, which ticks off its horror film checklist, one after the other: a church with a steeple, shadowy priests, spirits who wear splashy red gowns and kiss with a forked tongue, mysterious escort girls, 'mental' patients scribbling on walls, guilty killers who hang themselves and deadly islands.

    A shiver-giver set in the shimmering waters of Fiji, this is a well-structured though unevenly paced scare-fest that leads us into a terrifying climax.

    Hop in for 3G if you're planning to go with your partner and need to guarantee that come what may, you will love them genuinely and throughout.
