Once those elements are revealed, Lingering becomes a little engaging again, but by that point it’s too late...

Thrillist

a low-key slow-burner that travels some familiar ground, but it does so in a confident fashion -- and in a very creepy location.

Nightmare on Film Street

Lingering doesn't break the ghost story mold but it does have some appropriately freaky frights. Although you never learn enough about these people to truly fear them or feel for them, it still manages to craft a ghostly tale about our refusal to let go.

Rated: 6/10

Ready Steady Cut

South Korean horror about a disjointed family in a spooky hotel. Beautifully atmospheric, but with a plot that wasn't entirely cohesive.

Rated: 3/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

When coupled with the acting and the story's resolution, it makes Lingering a great addition to the Shudder line-up.

Rated: 7/10

Diana S

A fairly mediocre ghost thriller that reminds of the types of "horror" movies that were popular in American cinema 10-15 years ago.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

i'll be honest: it lost my attention at some point & then i started doing a project & completely stopped watching it - so i actually have no idea what happened by the end of it. i realize this review is neither valid nor helpful & while i did enjoy the first half, i have no intentions of trying to watch it again so I'll just give it 3 stars down the middle.
