Reception

Critical response

The film received largely negative reviews and currently holds an approval rating of 33% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The film was a top pick by The New York Times in March 2022.

...The payoff is demented and worth the wait.

— Erik Piepenburg, The New York Times[8]

A highly original and brilliant psychological thriller that is unique and thoughtful in its own highly original way.

— Ron Trembath, Scare Magazine [9]

Those Who Walk Away is presented as one continuous shot. It has a singular aesthetic and the attention to detail is uncanny. It’s everything that found footage isn’t. It’s methodical, explicit, and seemingly unedited. The timing and synchronism are perplexing. There’s absolutely no way you can predict what the second half holds, so brace yourself. It’s a real treat, whether you’re paying attention to the story or projecting yourself behind the camera. Regardless of the angle, it’s nothing short of a masterpiece.

— Steve Hutchison, Tales of Terror[10]

KTLA Morning News interviewed Robert Rippberger and Booboo Stewart about the theatrical release. [11]
