Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Writer-directors Jen and Sylvia Soska don't seem to have their material completely under control, but they've created a worthy entry in the Freaks school of cult cinema.
This is truly a cut above.
Writer-director siblings Jen and Sylvia Soska allow their film to turn slack and unfocused after an enticingly lurid, wickedly tense first half.
It's a truly interesting slasher fest; in this one, the heroine gets to be both beauty and beast.
