      There's visceral horror, too, including a grisly image -- a horror-in-miniature involving a fingernail -- that located an open nerve in my jaded ability to endure screen violence.

      "Sixth" achieves a rare hushed poetry where Stir, for all its strengths, is more earthbound and familiar.

      The economical, fast-paced style and creepy mood are reminiscent of "The Twilight Zone."

      Chicago Tribune

      A horror movie with a Hitchcockian veneer of the everyday, a story that taps into our fear not only of the paranormal but also of insanity and the secret evil that may lie beneath ordinary lives.

      Chicago Reader

      The conventional ghost-appeasement scenario isn't very suspenseful, which may be part of the reason it's so gripping.

      The picture has an appropriately grungy sense of place.

      (Bacon's) most believable, heart-wrenching and charismatic lead performance in many years.

      A conventionally violent, do-or-die ending on such an unconventional movie.
