Chicago Tribune It boasts impressive formal construction, beautiful cinematography and excellent acting. Rated: 3/4 Jul 20, 2002 Full Review Jason Gorber Film Scouts Long, introspective, indulgent cinema is certainly here to stay - let's try for something a little, well, better. Rated: C- Jun 21, 2007 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Oct 2, 2005 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a wonderfully creepy riff on Polanski's Repulsion... Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 2, 2002 Full Review Bill Chambers Film Freak Central ...A gem well hidden on video store shelves beneath artwork that makes it look like a quick cash-in on the success of What Lies Beneath.

Audience Member Awesome flick. It's a shame it never got much publicity. A great psychological thriller. It had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I would highly recommend. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Worth watching. Slow but with some incredible moments. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 2016-07-15 weird, no answers in the end about what did or didn't happen Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Intriguing, but ultimately the director tries to be too clever and esoteric and the movie founders in its own self-indulgence. Had potential, but from the beginning there's too much mystery-for-the-sake-of-mystery, and sometimes clumsily done. Still, is interesting enough. Good performance by Jeff Daniels in the lead role. Supporting cast are okay. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The fun's in the ride...not the destination--Slowly and very quietly the tension is built in metaphors!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A silly bit of nonsense that is supposed to be art house but ends up being outhouse. Jeff Daniels tries but he can't lift this out of the rubbish bin. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
