Rotten
Revelations stack and topple. By the third act, the film has so thoroughly exhausted your goodwill that any interest in plot must be jettisoned to even enjoy the aesthetics.

Rotten
An unsatisfying, shamelessly derivative mix of elements from Inception, Flatliners, and Shutter Island.
Ben Kenigsberg, AV Club
Rotten

Boyd van Hoeij, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh
This quasi-scientific fantasy finds Japanese horror maestro Kiyoshi Kurosawa at his least disturbing or mesmerizing.
