Los Angeles Times
Since the film is based on the Atari video game of the same name, it also has much to appeal to headbangers: fast pace, lots of gadgets, monsters, explosive special effects, plenty of inscrutable plot twists and turns. - 30
Dallas Observer
Here is the horror-action genre at its silliest and most uninspired. - 30
Variety
Fans of the source material probably won't be switching platforms to catch this bizarre Lions Gate pickup, and non-fans definitely won't. - 25
Chicago Tribune
That this bit of pustulence is based on a video game of the same name is no surprise. It explains the thin plot, characters and abundant gunplay. - 25
Charlotte Observer
Slater narrates as if reading a restaurant menu. Reid seems to have learned each long sentence in segments, so she wouldn't be overtaxed. - 25
Philadelphia Inquirer
Even Boll seems to lose interest as the story unravels. By that time, the supernatural cliches, plot inconsistencies, dead ends and red herrings have piled up so high you can barely see the screen. - 25
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Director Uwe Boll ("House of the Dead") has made a cottage industry out of this kind of junk. Maybe it's time for him to close up shop. - 10

One of those rare instances of a movie being so bad ... it's still really bad.
