Anderson, his superb ensemble cast and inspired cinematographer Uta Briesewitz, appeal at once to the intellect and the emotions as they build suspense and tension mercilessly.

Wall Street Journal
Pulls you in with smooth assurance, then holds you hostage to extremely creepy developments in the most awesome haunted house since "The Shining."

L.A. Weekly
A deft exercise in atmospheric horror and insanity. Which is why it's unfortunate that, ultimately, Anderson steps back from the brink.
50
The film, too artfully conceived to deliver many overt shocks, often feels long and aimless.
50
The story doesn't quite pay off, characters are underwritten and the surprise ending is contrived and unconvincing.
