New York Times

Keeping the violence — and the villain — mainly in the shadows, the filmmakers build to a climax that’s frustratingly dumb and drawn-out.

Radio Times

Neither true crime, nor true horror, the film ends up splitting the difference, with unsatisfying results.

Rated: 2/5

MovieJawn

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.

Sunshine State Cineplex

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.

Rated: 4/10

Assignment X

Wolfe is personable and committed, Bassinger nails the ‘70s vibe, and Skai Jackson is likable and credible as Annie’s best friend Patty.

Rated: B-

One Guy's Opinion

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.

Rated: D

I was impressed by the scary factor. Based in 1970 and I feel that they did a great job with time period correctness. It felt real.
