Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 12/13/2024
Keeping the violence — and the villain — mainly in the shadows, the filmmakers build to a climax that’s frustratingly dumb and drawn-out. Go to Full Review
Matt Glasby Radio Times Oct 15
2/5
Neither true crime, nor true horror, the film ends up splitting the difference, with unsatisfying results. Go to Full Review
Heather Sloan Gray MovieJawn Oct 6
The tension builds not through gore (the film’s PG-13 rating keeps explicit violence off-screen) but through slow roll of a van’s tires on gravel, a distant engine humming at dusk, and an expansive field that suddenly seems too exposed. Go to Full Review

4/10
Even a few well-executed scenes can raise the bar and hint at the potential to come in a career. Skeels has potential but needs more reps to get where he needs to go. Go to Full Review

Wolfe is personable and committed, Bassinger nails the ‘70s vibe, and Skai Jackson is likable and credible as Annie’s best friend Patty. Go to Full Review
Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion Dec 31
D
A serial-killer potboiler that doesn’t even simmer, let alone get up a full head of stream...resembles nothing more than the chintzy made-for-video so-called thrillers that filled the shelves of Blockbusters in the eighties and nineties. Go to Full Review
