A mystery wrapped in an enigma -- an enigma that isn't nearly as clever as the screenwriter seems to think it is.

After a car crash, criminal psychologist Dr. Miranda Grey regains consciousness only to find that she's a patient in the same mental institution that currently employs her. She's been accused of murdering her husband Dr. Douglas Grey — but she has no memory of committing the crime. As she tries to regain her memory and convince her co-worker, Dr. Pete Graham, of her innocence, a vengeful spirit uses her as an earthly pawn, which further convinces everyone of her guilt.

More of a women's-prison movie than a supernatural thriller, and not a very good one at that.
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Rotten
Scriptwriter Sebastian Gutierrez and French director Mathieu (Hate) Kassovitz ... treat this movie with all the subtlety of a Judas Priest music video.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Rotten
Propelled by too many whoppers to create a believable, and therefore legitimately terrifying, universe.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Rotten
It's a film about the mind that is totally bone-headed, frequently making serious lapses of logic.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
