Rotten
Meandering and glacially paced, and often just plain dull.

It's a bad sign in a thriller when you instantly know whodunit.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten
Hardly a nuanced portrait of a young woman's breakdown, the film nevertheless works up a few scares.
Ed Park, Village Voice
Fresh
It's light on the chills and heavy on the atmospheric weirdness, and there are moments of jaw-droppingly odd behavior -- yet I found it weirdly appealing.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
Pic's structure and last-minute disclosures entirely betray any personal investment the viewer has made in this low-key yarn, which will cause audiences to feel ambushed and sullied at fadeout.
Todd McCarthy, Variety
