3/5
If you're prepared to suspend your disbelief, you'll certainly find some enjoyment in Panic Button's generic attempt to express these genuinely concerning issues -- even if you take little away from its cautionary tale. Go to Full Review

Utterly preposterous, but Panic Button is gripping and a lot of fun. Go to Full Review

Melissa L @Agent99 Sep 27, 2026 I thought it was a pretty good horror movie with a unique plot. See more Justin D @MrTellNoLies Sep 3, 2026 Good concept bad acting bad scenes all around trash why give your passport up from that point I was done with this movie unrealistic on how a real human will act in this situation not worth watching I understand is low budget but next time put way more effort into your actors parts please See more Jay L @Jay.Livin Aug 20, 2026 This has a cool concept for a movie but was executed poorly. It’s a bit slow in the beginning but you get a good idea of what type of person everyone is and the ending is alright but kind of fell flat. It’s decent for a low budget film but nothing special. See more Becky A @RT59308745 Nov 3, 2025 While there's certainly a valuable lesson behind the plot (how past behaviour can come back to haunt you so you should always think before you speak/act), and the lead up to the ending was certainly well executed, the finale itself was confusing & creepy. The main antagonist has now taken the main characters daughter as a permanent hostage? Changed her name against her will, told her she's *his* daughter now, and even managed to convince his family to go along with holding a child captive? Look honey, I've replaced little Lucy! It's like the suicide never happened! I don't buy it. It's like they pulled an ending instead of a joke out of a cheap Christmas cracker & said "that'll do." See more Dec 26, 2021 I discovered this little movie while browsing for something to watch. Was very surprised how interesting it was. Definitely worth a watch. See more Nov 20, 2019 Pretty predicable film but plenty of scares and it's a fun ride. On a budget of £300k it's an interesting concept and quality acting. It's definitely better then any Ray liotta & Wesley Snipes airplane movie put it that way! Will probably watch again one day. See more Read all reviews
