Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com While the concept suggests mind-bending alternate-reality stuff, the not terribly cerebral reality of the movie offers more in the line of eyeball-gouging, blood-spurting, face-melting shock horror. Rated: 2/4 Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Ultimately, the unusual structure seems like a cover for how underdeveloped this film's various segments are. Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Not a dimension to which you'll want to cross over. Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Korey Coleman Double Toasted There's no extra meaning here, and if there is, it's really not worth pursuing. I was done with it when it was done... Nov 7, 2019 Full Review Joey Magidson Hollywood News Despite an intriguing premise, this film goes absolutely nowhere, opting for random gore as opposed to containing any real ideas. Rated: 2/4 Oct 26, 2019 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said The cohesion and payoff I was awaiting wasn't coming. Sigh. Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

G B What is the point of coming up with such an interesting concept and then just completely ignoring it? Just a mix of hospital gore, zombie gore and other gore thrown in for good measure. Lots of lost eyeballs. Shame on me for watching without checking the reviews first. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Crusty B Nothing makes sense. Character development is awful. I don't even know what the portals did or why they couldn't just talk to the protagonists even though they could talk to everyone else. Suddenly there's a scene in Jakarta for no reason. 20/10 stars. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/23 Full Review Eric D Surprisingly low production values and lackluster performances prevented us from getting past the 20 minute mark. Nice concept though Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/10/23 Full Review WA S The closing credits revealed that this was a series of shorts, which left me confused throughout. It seemed horribly cliche to me. A mysterious something appears on Earth and draws people to it, while a select few can fight it. Meanwhile, the chosen always try to force the members of the select few to follow. It didn't appear they connected the stories except for the portals themselves. It was a confusing mess, with three different endings. You couldn't tell if whatever "it" was in the portals was good or bad as in one story they returned the main character's lost baby while in others there was eye-gouging and face-melting, ending with a portent of doom. I only watched it all the way because there were so many unanswered questions. I was disappointed. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/23 Full Review Benjamin W I didn't understand what the hell was happening in this movie. There was a faint, but very sharp, high pitch noise that lasted for like 3 straight minutes after Jill got taken away by the portal. It was a confusing movie, it hurt my ears, it started out interesting but quickly became nothing more than a confusing, partially cohesive mess that never truly explained itself and I was left with more questions than answers (in a bad way). Stupid movie. I made an account just to give this rating. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/23 Full Review robert p Absolutely this has got to be one of the worst movies, I have ever seen. From exploding heads, to no plot at all. A cheap knock off 2001 A space odyssey. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
