      Los Angeles Times

      Oddly enjoyable at its most implausible.

      TV Guide Magazine

      Stylish and twisty, but not clever enough to support its more outrageous plot machinations.

      Variety

      It's actually considerably better -- and far more intriguing -- than most entry-level horror pics, marrying a retro B-movie setup with the ghostly obsessions of recent Asian extreme cinema.

      Village Voice

      While the mystery doesn't engage, Davlin keeps you off guard with his film's weird rhythms, bouncing from family drama to romance to macabre mood piece without much warning. How he and Zane manage to make such dreck almost tolerable is the real mystery here.

      The New York Times

      Memory is an inane, sluggish mess.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      A muddled and routine murder mystery tricked up with a science fiction gimmick that wouldn't pass muster for a "Twilight Zone" episode. The writing is poor, but the direction is even poorer. This is a film to delete from one's memory bank.
