The atmospheric psychological thriller weaves a compelling web thanks to dense, stylized direction by Nick Willing and a smartly assembled cast.

rotten:
On their way to confront ancient evil, Strother and Losey keep tripping over timeworn cliches.

An occasionally engaging but more often gruesome British thriller.

fresh:
If you can overlook its TV-episode look, occasional lapses in logic and detours into lurid overkill, this old-school psychological thriller, which marries a tracking-the- serial-killer narrative with occult themes, is a creepy diversion.
