Ethan Gilsdorf
It's a bummer when the audience is smarter than the protagonist.
Nick Schager
From a bevy of cheesy jolt scares (alarm clock! barking dog!) to the embarrassing sight of Zellweger and Ian McShane treating this Orphan-style B-movie silliness with grave seriousness, the film proves to be one hokey-horror riot.
Jeannette Catsoulis
By the time the killings start, it's clear that Ray Wright's screenplay is more interested in following formula than in breaking new ground.
Frank Scheck
The devil made them do it, but that doesn't mean you have to see it.
Robert Abele
[Plays] like one more piece of multiplex in-box clutter, ready for the circular file in our moviegoing consciousness.
Chris Nashawaty
An aggressively inept demon-seed chiller starring a bunch of grown-ups who should've known better.

This ludicrous outing from helmer Christian Alvart and scribe Ray Wright takes its psycho-satanic babble much too seriously, and should elicit more laughs than frights.

I saw this movie and.... Well I dont really like horror movies, but I love jodelle ferland, so I really wanted to watch this, so me and my friend watched it. I loved the movie because it wasnt the scariest horror movie, but it still gave chills.

The shocking deterioration of his physical and mental health has made his every waking moment an unrelenting state of confusion, paranoia, guilt, anxiety and terror.

The Island
Blockbuster action director Michael Bay delivers a striking look at a strange world of the future in this sci-fi action drama. Midway through the 21st century, Lincoln Six Echo (Ewan McGregor) lives in a confined indoor community after ongoing abuse of the Earth has rendered most of the planet uninhabitable. One of the only places in the outside world still capable of sustaining life is an idyllic island where citizens are chosen to live through a lottery. Or at least that's what Lincoln and his fellow citizens are taught to believe; the truth is that Lincoln, like everyone he knows, is actually a clone who is kept under wraps to provide needed organs when the person who supplied his or her DNA falls ill. When he becomes aware that his existence is a fraud, Lincoln escapes to the outside world with a fellow clone, Jordan Two Delta (Scarlett Johansson), though the powers that be are determined to see that no one gets away alive. The Island also stars Steve Buscemi, Djimon Hounsou, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Sean Bean.
