| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer  Antebellum fails to connect its images with any meaning, making for a largely unpleasant experience lacking any substantial scares. | 6 |  |
| Movie Review Query Engine MRQE critics   | 11 |  |
| CommonSenseMedia Joyce Slaton Brutal slavery horror pic has cool twists but lacks depth. | 10 | |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy Decent, but likely better had it somehow leaned into the supernatural rather than follow the now all too predictable Shyamalan playbook, Antebellum certainly proves the point of its opening quote from Faulkner about the past not just never being dead but also not even being past. | 10 | |
