It's rough around the edges when heavy special effects are required, yet proficient in shanty-shady tones and detectable darkness that hides secrets from one sequence to the next. It's an experience that lulls you in with hospitality and scored choral chants, plunging its stinger once you've become helpless beyond defense. - 67
Consequence
It’s worth watching for its disorienting and intoxicating atmosphere, but there’s not much narrative substance beyond that. - 67
The Film Stage
Maybe it doesn’t stimulate your intellect as much as other recent genre fare, but it definitely offers an engrossing setting through which to travel for 80 minutes. - 67

Film Threat
Despite the many things it does right, atmosphere and casting, mostly, it doesn’t give you any reason to remember it. - 60
