  • 6.0 EmpireAndrew Lowry "Straightforward, unpretentious and well-acted, this is a solid if unsurprising genre piece." Read
  • 6.0 Time OutTrevor Johnson "Still, if it lacks the originality and sheer muscle of the best horror fare, this does offer an astute take on fragile thirty-something machismo" Read
  • VarietyDennis Harvey "David Bruckner?s first solo directorial feature benefits from solid atmospherics that elevate a not-particularly-original conceit." Read
