Premiere -
It's equal parts shivery and silly -- eyeball popping in slo-mo!

L.A. Weekly -
Director Ryuhei Kitamura (Versus) is a bit weak when it comes to storytelling, but there are few who could so enthusiastically stage a butcher fight amid hanging human carcasses in a subway car.

Variety -
Film isn't scary, per se, but it's mostly effective nonetheless, with Cooper capably steering his character from charming young artist to nervous wreck, evoking Ralph Fiennes' more unhinged turns along the way.

May not be grade-A prime, but it ain't chopped liver either.
