"It’s certainly imperfect and I found it difficult to differentiate some of the explorers from one another at times. But it’s also just a pretty good time at the movies with the new ways that it finds to combine a big adventure story with horror elements." - Phil Silva, The Atlantic





"Most of the characters bleed together and don't feel very developed. There are certainly some strong visuals and good scares, but without characters to care about it was ultimately for naught." - Brenton Smalls, Playboy





"Despite its bland characters, El Dorado was enough fun to recommend. It's never boring and often thrilling. I wish the characters felt more original, but the film mixes the period setting, adventure set-up and horror visuals nicely." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press






Rated R for bloody violence and frightening images
