Rotten
A vaporous and vacuous horror film.
David Hiltbrand, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
None of this makes any sense whatsoever.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Fresh
A welcome throwback to the glory days of scary movies.
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly
Rotten
This is strictly substandard stuff, with imitative creepy noises, vertiginous camera angles, and long pauses during which Tim considers whether to open doors.
