Critic Reviews

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Ultimately fairly routine material, but it's hard to knock a film that includes among its cast such familiar faces as Olivia Hussey, Sean Young, William Atherton, Dee Wallace Stone and (the apparently obligatory for the genre) Udo Kier.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
There are good ideas pulsing through Andrew van den Houten's horror flick, but once the script turns nasty, things fall apart -- and not just literally.
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
A small horror film with all the necessary gore and beasties and gratuitous nudity that this not-very-demanding genre demands.
Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Impossível compreender como tantos atores veteranos puderam aceitar participar de um projeto sem potencial dirigido por um estreante sem talento.
Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
There is such a level of pretension throughout the movie that it was hard to watch without rolling your eyes at every other scene.
Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com
A fairly intelligent, creepy, and well-crafted piece of indie moviemaking.
Johnny Butane, Dread Central
Overall this is the kind of movie I wish could come from indie filmmakers more often.

Great development, poor pay-off. It had me until the end which falls into that oh-so-typical "surprise" ending.
Steve K

Very nice to see some original horror ideas getting toyed with. Good performance by the lead.
