Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Never overstays its welcome and builds up to its shocks by having us get to know Harry and Ruth before it turns the tables on the audience Rated: 3/4 Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Jordan Hoffman AV Club If for some reason you haven’t pulled the trigger on Shudder and want to get more out of a Paramount+ subscription, this is better than just staring at a blank wall. Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Natalia Winkelman New York Times The film’s modest facade proves a smoke screen for a rich and eventful ride; one plot development in particular hits with such surprise that it catches the audience far more unawares than the characters. Oct 7, 2022 Full Review Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It A surprising science fiction thriller that serves original twists you won’t see coming. Oct 14, 2023 Full Review Matt Pais MattPais.com Simply not enough in nearly every category. Rated: C Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Dave Golder Radio Times Those who make it through the interminable first 45 minutes are unlikely to care who kills whom in the climactic face-off. Rated: 2/5 Dec 9, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Diego J. Great start, cliff dive of a finish. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review Anthony S This movie really had me at the beginning then all of a sudden WHAM cheese city. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Audience Member The lead performances were more than acceptable, and really the only thing worth mentioning in this very slow burn thriller that goes so unexpectedly off the rails is in the third act. It's a typical trauma backstory with no real breakthrough or meaning. Nice and short though. Still a good one-time watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Manda D This movie goes on a bizarrely silly direction that tries too hard. It starts off strong but doesn't know what to do with itself. I don't know if it was supposed to be a comedy sci fi thriller or not but I did laugh out loud several times. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/01/25 Full Review Audience Member OMG, the script is really bad. It's lame and cheesy. It's like a bad '90s scifi Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review JIMSTER I Unsettling and Awkward moments fill your nerves with mesmerizing thoughts provocatively capturing your attention to dark and twisted interests. An edge-of-your-heart pulse-pounding exquisite sensation. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
