Del Toro builds excitement, dread, and melodrama in equal layers.

L.A. Weekly -

New Times (L.A.) -
The sensitive art-house viewer should be warned: Though slow-moving at first, the film ends in explosions and violent death, with a level of sadism that will undoubtedly prove too intense for some viewers.

TV Guide Magazine -
Brooding ghost story is rich with psychological and political implications that never obscure its fundamental creepiness.
