Vanity Fair
A tense, breathless horror film full of things we've seen before but can never get enough of when they're done well.

The Guardian
It's a sharp, finely tuned thriller that goes down familiar paths but with flair and skill. Flanagan doesn't hold back on the gore, but he doesn't rely on it.

Roger Ebert
It might have worked better as a short film or installment of an anthology series like “Masters of Horror,” but Flanagan has a notable skill in building tension and then just allowing it to simmer.
