What the critics say average 4.5 from 4 outlets

  • 6.0 CinemaníaTony Vail 'Ghostland' is a journey through known tropes... to satiate the [horror] fanatic's always demanding thirst. Read
  • 5.0 The Hollywood ReporterJordan Mintzer An off-putting home invasion flick with a few good twists (...) The director deserves a bit of credit for trying something different. Read
  • 4.0 Los Angeles TimesKimber Myers Transphobia and misogyny flow through the film as much as blood, staining what might have been a solid genre effort. Read
