While Trebilcock uses creepily animated sequences to artful effect, the film peaks too weakly.

Rated: 2/4

One of the rare horror movies that would probably work better if the horror elements were extracted, leaving just the underlying family drama to speak for itself.

Rated: 2/5

In the end, the animated sequences and the actors prove to be the film's biggest charms, and just enough to make it all worthwhile.

Rated: 2.5/4

[It] would have worked far better as a single character psychodrama rather than the cluttered bid to become a standard issue, pedestrian horror-thriller it settles for being.

Trebilcock is bent on making a horror movie - and a rather toothless one at that, with silly CG jump scares and a third-act revelation that kills the dramatic momentum.

Rated: 2/5

When I entered two stars, meh, it passed the time, automatically popped up. That's the best way I can put it.
