San Francisco ExaminerWesley Morris
You're smarter than this, but occasionally it tricks you into thinking it might be up to something you haven't considered, like an above-average, extra-bloody episode of "Scooby Doo." Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
Has slick production credits and performances that are quite adequate given the (narrow) opportunities of the genre. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerSteven Rea
Has a dark, low-budget feel and an incongruous combination of self-consciously jokey patter and gross-out gore. Read full review

San Francisco ChroniclePeter Stack
Schlock, but amusing schlock. Read full review

Boston GlobeJay Carr
Awful in ways that are just clever enough often enough to make it intermittently watchable. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
Although it's recycled from start to finish, there are some decent jokes laced throughout, plus enough gore to satisfy the most bloodthirsty tastes. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
You cease to care as they fall back on a catalogue of clichéd shocks, tired camera angles and an ever-mounting gore quotient. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
Preposterous plotting and interchangeable young actors. Read full review

Miami HeraldSara Wildberger
Sophomoric. Read full review

The New York TimesDave Kehr
Ottman doesn't have the firm grasp of tone necessary to make his deliberate ambiguities seem other than simple confusion, nor the sense of humor necessary to turn the deliberate clichés into effective satire. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyPaul Malcolm
Wears its lack of originality in a crowded slasher marketplace like a red badge of desperation. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
Simply a lousy film from start to finish. Read full review

Film.comGemma Files
Basically a dressed-up piece of drivel, a self-referential pseudo-thriller with pretensions to pretensions of classic Hollywood suspense. Read full review
20
Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
Doesn't do much with its pseudosavvy characters. Read full review
20
SalonMary Elizabeth Williams
Predictable, gratuitous and just self-referential enough to believe itself hip and knowing. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesDavid Chute
Has promising raw material to burn--and that's pretty much what's been done. Read full review

Village VoiceNick Rutigliano
Simply less campily moronic than its predecessor, a tired kill-by-numbers. Read full review

Baltimore SunChris Kaltenbach
Just plain bad. Read full review

Chicago TribuneJohn Petrakis
It's hard not to feel angry that you've spent almost two hours watching this moronic exercise. Read full review

VarietyRobert Koehler
A poorer film than the paltry original even as it strikes a self-consciously clever pose. Read full review

Washington PostDesson Thomson
The only quandary in this film is in where to begin despising it. Read full review

Film.comJohn Hartl
If you've seen one "Scream" rip-off, you really have seen them all. Read full review

Mr. ShowbizCody Clark
As for genuine willies, well, chances are you've had more disturbing encounters with, say, a belligerent Shih Tzu. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean Axmaker
No style, no irony and no smarts, just a vicious streak that lasts 90 minutes. Read full review
