      The New York Times

      Maybe there will be an oversaturation of ''Scream''-inspired horror films someday soon, but this one feels fresh.

      Chicago Sun-Times

      The film is competently made, and the attractive cast emotes and screams energetically.

      The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

      Like Frankenstein's monster before the lightning strikes, it's all recycled cold flesh and bolts, without a twitch of originality.

      ReelViews

      With each death, the film becomes less interesting. By the end, it's just a routine slasher flick with a too-predictable final "twist."

      San Francisco Chronicle

      A premise so rock-solid, so guaranteed to please, that it almost doesn't matter that the movie is otherwise a routine slasher, and not a particularly scary one.

      Entertainment Weekly

      Proficiently filmed and utterly uninspired.
    • 30

      Austin Chronicle

      Spottily directed and lacking the dubious merits of even the Friday the 13th franchise, this is one slasher film that should die a quick and lonely box-office death.

      Los Angeles Times

      A low-voltage drive-in movie, made strictly by the book.
