If it's patchy and derivative it also has a compelling, soapy undertow that kept me watching.

[Laranas] delivers a maximum of suspense and horror, working wonders with a small budget.

This philosophical film helps elevate the film above the usual scared-teenager shocker although, sometimes, the film ignores the bread-and-butter demands of the genre.

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

The film's three-pronged narrative does a fair job of laying a spooky groundwork for the revelatory emotional sadism that lies behind most acts of evil; it just takes a bit of clunky exposition to get there.

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

A powerfully atmospheric blend of ghostly encounters, horrific situations and missing-persons mysteries from the Philippine director Yam Laranas.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
