Time OutMatt PatchesDec 10, 2013
The logic wouldn’t hold up under scrutiny, but García Bogliano’s unnerving mood, complemented by grungy camerawork and a shroud of sonic chaos, provides an emotional strain that makes anything possible. Read full review

Village VoiceRob StaegerDec 10, 2013
Bogliano is not a subtle director — check his sudden zooms on items of portent — but he painstakingly shows us Caro opening her mind to the possibility of supernatural evil, and he's careful not to tip his hand too soon as to whether it's real or imagined. Read full review

McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreDec 12, 2013
It barely has a fright in it on its own, this bloody, Mexican-made supernatural thriller set in the hill country near Tijuana. But open it with a hot “Blue is the Warmest Color” sex scene, toss in a few other hot and heavy moments and a generous helping of nudity and you can be sure, at least, of getting a Hollywood studio’s attention.

Slant MagazineJesse CataldoDec 9, 2013
The film is eventually revealed as less interested in subverting or playing off its influences than rigorously retracing them. Read full review

The problem is that writer-director Adrián García Bogliano can't decide what kind of horror movie he wants it to be. Read full review
