Stabs at the dramatic don't amount to anything that makes us care, even for Bell, who has been solid on AMC's The Walking Dead and in the chairlift chiller Frozen.

It sticks to gimmicky scenes in which twentysomethings are dispatched in ingenious ways, but first-time director Steven Quayle delivers cheap fun that will keep fans happy.

Nigel Floyd, Time Out

A surprising infusion of energy and macabre humor reanimates this horror franchise.

Bruce Diones, New Yorker
Rotten

The death sequences are fun; unfortunately, nearly everything in between is tedious and mechanical.

Eric D. Snider, Film.com

Director Steven Quale stages the death scenes with intermittently effective black humour to juice up a premise that, essentially, has all the suspense of watching the line at an abattoir.
