A handful of creepy visuals can't make up for a mountain of shortcomings.
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic
Rotten
It would have been a lot scarier if the film's college kids, haunted by comrades who stare back at them from cyber-hell, looked like they had lives worth saving.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
The remake begins with the same premise and appropriates the most striking visuals, grafting them onto a more explicable but equally dull George Romero-style doomsday scenario.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Rotten
What was dreadful and trance-like in the original feels here like nothing-much-at-all sandwiched between some stock horror jolts.
Keith Phipps, AV Club
