"Comes across in muted fashion, with uninvolving characters and lack of genuine excitement or fright creating a second-rate, second-hand feel."

Variety

"The creepiest, clammiest, twitchiest squealfest in months. It offers, among its many pleasures, the happiness of safe fear."

—

The Washington Post

"The best thing about the movie, which is a very elegantly crafted piece of gothic snuff hokum, is the way it teases and intrigues us with the revelation of what's on that tape."
