Charlotte Observer
Salva's view of the universe is bleak, but he communicates it with scary sincerity. - 83
Portland Oregonian
Balancing homage with creativity, the picture is tight, stylishly filmed, clever and, importantly, scary. - 80
Slate
The movie is good enough to put a chill into the late-summer air. Salva has nasty surprises in the grim, minor-key last third, during which the feeling dawns on you that sleep for the next few nights won't come easily. - 70
Chicago Reader
The story (what there is of it) doesn't make much sense, but this is a very scary horror thriller that should keep you either on the edge of your seat or halfway under it. - 67
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Salva spins a backwoods serial killer setup into something really scary. - 63
New York Daily News
Horror fans will still find it worthwhile. The ending is also a nice twist on the slasher genre. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
The first half-hour of this movie is sensational, creating an atmosphere of dread that any horror master would envy. - 42
Entertainment Weekly
Turns into a grab-bag freak show as desperate as it is arbitrary.
