Review Quotes

1. "...a spare, creepily atmospheric psychological thriller with a death grip on the psychological aspect."— The Hollywood Reporter
2. "..even as the campaign of terror escalates, the movie remains levelheaded, smartly maintaining its commitment to tingling creepiness over bludgeoning horror."— The New York Times
3. "It's all efficiently nerve-jangling, with Tyler and Speedman credibly registering every hue of panic. Still, after such a long, creepy, cannily restrained buildup, it must be said the resolution is rather flat..."— Variety
