The New York TimesJeannette Catsoulis
A minor chiller and major downer from the talented Alexandre Aja. Read full review

Chicago ReaderAndrea Gronvall
Director Alexandre Aja (Haute Tension, The Hills Have Eyes) keeps the suspense tight for most of the movie, only to fritter it away in an overblown ending. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jason Anderson
An occasionally inventive but ultimately plodding horror film. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarjorie Baumgarten
An effective sound design enhances several of the film's sudden frights, and Sutherland, who appears in almost every scene, is a predictably solid presence. Read full review
