Critic Reviews

  • Phelim O'Neill, Guardian [UK]

    Just when you're settled into thinking you're watching another survival horror, there's a massive and quite bold change in direction and all bets are off.

    It cleverly weaves together nasty nightmares from both the Iraq occupation and World War II while constantly grossing us out. Although we never get very deeply involved.

  • Scott Weinberg, FEARnet

    It's like Deliverance turns into Hostel halfway through -- only not nearly as good as either of those films.
