- 60Village VoicePete Vonder HaarVillage VoicePete Vonder HaarHome Sweet Hell is a pleasantly unpleasant dark comedy, one that gives new meaning to "detached and subdivided" in the mass production zone.
- 50Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreObvious and jaw-droppingly bloody, it still gives Heigl her funniest role in years.
- 30The DissolveKate ErblandThe DissolveKate ErblandAlthough the film appears to be aiming for pitch-black humor, it’s all so mirthless that the result is genuinely ugly.
- 30Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinA muddle of tired themes, bad behaviors and gruesome set pieces.
- 25New York PostSara StewartNew York PostSara StewartDreadful, misogynist slog of a film.
- 20VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangHeigl’s performance as a coolly murderous model housewife is the only real reason to even consider watching Home Sweet Hell, an otherwise flailing and risible tale of adultery, extortion and suburban malaise that suggests a poor woman’s “Gone Girl” — one stripped of all tension, style and subtext, and instead rendered with a level of over-the-top gore that would give even David Fincher pause.
- A dark comedy that isn't funny and a marriage satire that doesn't break new ground.
- 16The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloThe A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloKatherine Heigl has exactly one funny moment in the dire black comedy Home Sweet Hell, which is still one more than anybody else has.
- The kind of blithely confident, creatively impoverished dud that leaves you slightly stunned someone greenlit it, the movie has the distinction of feeling like a bad idea from its very first frames.
- 10TheWrapInkoo KangTheWrapInkoo KangA rancid comedy fueled by male entitlement and uxoricidal rage.
