Carpenter has made his approximation of a cheap, twisty, shock-filled modern horror movie, and he has lost all but faint sighs of his minimalist swagger in the process.

The horror master's first film in nine years is not the comeback we had wished.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

The shocks mostly consist of figures suddenly rising up in the background, or thunderclaps from a seemingly endless thunderstorm.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

Carpenter's economical but mundane chiller is possessed more by previous ghoul-friend flicks than it is by his better work.
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
