If the people in it behaved in a logical way, then there wouldn't be a movie.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten

[Its] cynical hedging of its psychological/supernatural bets seems mostly designed to breed sequels.

Nigel Floyd, Time Out
Rotten

Some of the shock effects in Lovely Molly are successfully disorienting, but too many of its ideas are reductive and histrionic, such as those concerning the male victimization of women, vengeance and mental illness.

Adam Litovitz, Globe and Mail
Fresh

Sanchez ratchets up the tension incrementally - things heard and not quite seen - creating a mood of unease that graduates in stages into full-blown horror.

Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
Rotten

Sanchez ... is not making his debut here, and after more than a decade he should be willing to do something besides jerking the camera around and making noises offscreen.

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
