Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Director David L. Cunningham's proffered chills are strictly of the lightweight variety: a menacing flock of ravens, a slimy skein of snakes and a couple of mall security yobs too fat or stupid to overpower even a spindly teenager.
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
Rotten
A mealy adaptation of one installment in Susan Cooper's acclaimed book series.
Stephen Garrett, Time Out New York
Rotten
A movie that should've been made shortly after its source material -- Susan Cooper's Newbery winner -- debuted in 1973. As is, it feels entirely too generic to work today.
Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
The acting is mediocre, the story rambles, the special effects -- average at best.
