Dennis Harvey Variety 09/19/2007
Dumb sensationalism that trusts blood-buckets dumped on thesps are enough to raise a fright. Go to Full Review
Andrew L. Urban Urban Cinefile 12/20/2008
Angry young working class Nick West (Andrew Howard) narrates this hideous story for us in an engaging and self-referential manner that, surprisingly enough, adds to the entertainment value Go to Full Review

Tom T @TommyHalfPot 12/19/2024 I’m convinced they wrote this solely with the intentions of Jason Statham playing the main character. It can only explain the Alibaba wholesale knockoff they trotted out there. I will say, nothing says horror like a man yelling incantations at a demon in his fancy PJs. See more Veronica B @RT19980445 09/29/2024 A dark, gross movie, in the best way. I can't stop thinking about it even years later. See more 01/01/2015 No jump scares. Hardly any scares really. Entertaining. The climax is properly disturbing. More of a who-done-it, with a satisfactory ending. See more 08/10/2014 It was bad to begin with, then they added the horrible narration and start. An unsophisticated Shutter Island cum Session 9. See more Courtney K @c0urtn3y 02/04/2014 that ending though! my thoughts and opinions of this film were totally changed -- and i mean just COMPLETELY changed within a fraction of a second. what a hidden gem; i'm so surprised the audience reviews didn't rate this higher. i guess i've seen enough horror flicks that i really appreciate these kind of films versus the same-old-same-old that somehow gets so popular. if you're into psychological horror, i'd recommend this one. it's got a pretty cool monster, too, if that's what you like. See more jack z @oceanic815 01/04/2014 This movie would get 5 stars if it weren't for Gant's horrendous acting. See more Read all reviews
