Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
It dresses up boilerplate horror in a classy shell, yet never gives it the pulse it needs.
Ian Buckwalter, NPR
Rotten
A stylish piece of horror-movie hokum.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
It's too dull for grown-ups and too nightmarish for children. It makes Nip/Tuck look like a Mel Brooks musical.
Rex Reed, New York Observer

Best of all is Neeson, who is nicely creepy. Whether he's genuinely gifted or knuckle-chewing insane, he's not the kind of guy you'd want to spend time with, either way.
