Rotten
This wannabe highbrow horror-thriller is a graceless, unfocused piece of work with a central narrative as tonally schizophrenic and wayward as its lead.

Mr. Brooks spins a web that will wrap you up in nightmares.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The movie is so well made, and so compelling as a portrait of a man at war with himself, that, right up until the end, many people will probably be entertained by its intricately preposterous story.
David Denby, New Yorker
Rotten
[Director] Evans keeps flirting with a potentially rich idea only to surround it with indigestible amounts of silliness.
Melissa Anderson, Time Out New York

Quite a few plot lines and character quandaries remain unresolved. And yet the movie makes sense as it stands. After all, one can never know what makes a psychopath tick.
Susan Walker, Toronto Star
