For all its style and assurance, Tell Me Something is not ultimately original enough to sustain its many horrific images, however brief they may be.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Mainly demonstrates that Asian filmmakers are just as adept as Americans at producing genre exercises.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

So bedeviled by plot holes and violations of common sense that by the time you get to the climax, you've ceased to buy the whole story line.
Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
Rotten
Though it comes from halfway across the world, the movie, directed by Chang Youn-hyun, shows a desultory mastery of Hollywood cliches.
