Top critics, in their words

All reviews
Fresh

Adam Sussman's script is so thin you can see right through it.

Nigel Floyd, Time Out
Fresh

It's gripping stuff and deeply enjoyable.

Dave Calhoun, Time Out
Rotten

[The Return is] more haunting than it has any right to be, thanks to its love of long, lonesome highways and the way the violence of the past bleeds into the present.

Keith Phipps, AV Club
Rotten

Mellow -- nay, snoozy -- atmospherics trump actual scares, and it makes almost zero sense.

Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten

This murky psychological horror effort is not likely to inspire a return.

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
