What the critics say average 7.0 from 7 outlets

• 8.0 The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeFore Clearly the work of an ambitious writer/director who can see himself inheriting the mantle of Rod Serling (...) it offers twists and ironies and false endings galore - along with more laughs than the comedian-turned-auteur dared to include in his debut film.
