Critics at a glance
Mirchi9: 1.75/5
"However, it fails to deliver in the key elements that make the genre flick enjoyable. It’s one-note for the most part and takes a predictable turn toward the end, making it a routine, dull outing"
Also: "The action bits are well shot, but they lack punch. Nothing about them is thrilling or tense, and everything feels familiar"

Telugu Bulletin: 2/5
"Overall, #Cult is an average attempt to explore the slasher genre in Telugu Cinema. It relies more on violence and style rather than having an engaging narrative filled with adrenaline"
Also: "The music by Ravi Basrur is extraordinary. His pulsating background score elevates all the action sequences to another level"

The Hindu
"#Cult is not short on ambition, but it could have been a lot more with better writing and sharper execution"
Also: "Ravi Basrur’s background score repeatedly insists on making its presence felt, while the flabby screenplay is exhausting"
