Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Branagh doesn't evoke terror, only repulsion.
– Richard Schickel,
TIME Magazine,

rotten:
Mr. Branagh is in over his head. He displays neither the technical finesse to handle a big, visually ambitious film nor the insight to develop a stirring new version of this story.

rotten:
Not frightening, just silly.

rotten:
Watching the movie work itself into an operatic frenzy, one remains curiously detached: the grand gestures are there, but where's the music?

rotten:
Kenneth Branagh has indeed created a monster, but not the kind he originally envisioned.
