Noel Murray

May 16, 2019

While the “Wait Until Dark”-like suspense of the film’s climax feels a little rote, that’s OK, because the foggy depiction of a troubled marriage is plenty disturbing. Read full review

The Observer (UK) Simran Hans

May 14, 2019

The film lurches into conventional horror-thriller territory as it progresses, though there are interesting moments. Read full review

Empire Kim Newman

May 14, 2019

A drama of upper-middle-class menace that can’t quite bring itself to be a full-on slasher movie, this has a few too many clichés but offers some creepiness and decent performances. Read full review

Tim Coleman

Taking Don’t Look Now as a reference point, Gary Sinyor’s film is turgid, flabby and – despite some committed performances and great ideas – toothless, with neither tension nor bite. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

May 14, 2019

When The Unseen works it has an interestingly airless atmosphere, a weirdly disconnected, alienated quality that mimics the couple’s fraught emotional state. But the tension and sense of fear were lacking. Read full review
