Critic Reviews
-
Jeremy Heilman, MovieMartyr.com
A bit too concerned with gore to really grapple with the concept of dread, but too full of dialogue to be genuinely thrilling
-
Paul Chambers, CNNRadio
A horror flick that saves the shocks for the end. It's not soon enough. Paul Chambers, CNN.

Anton Bitel, Little White Lies
It is a film very much about its own audience, confronting us all with the insatiable sadism and voyeurism of those who seek to dispel their own innermost fears vicariously.
-
Scott Weinberg, FEARnet
A clever balancing act between basic scares, a creepy concept, and something a little more (dare I say) cerebral.
