Liam Lacey
A welcome change of pace from most contemporary scary stories, where the shocks come with all the subtlety of flashers jumping out of park bushes.
David Edelstein
I saw the ending a mile away and couldn't have jumped higher.
Rita Kempley
A tantalizing spine-tingler.
James Berardinelli
It's atmospheric, stylish, and spooky. The plot is well thought-out and its secrets and mysteries are unveiled slowly. Unfortunately, it is also cold, distancing, and moves at a glacial pace.
Peter Howell
Mr. Serling would be pleased.
Moira MacDonald
Bumpy at first, with a few too many clichés and an awful lot of doors opening and closing. But by its final image -- a beautifully fading portrait through a window -- I was swept in.
