Reviews

Chicago Tribune - Michael Phillips
For the record, Gus Van Sant recently made "The Sea of Trees," set in the same infamous suicide forest, starring Matthew McConaughey and Ken Watanabe. In its contrived sentimentality that film is twice as frightening as this one.
50
Boston Globe - Peter Keough
Zada gets credible performances from Dormer and Kinney, but their characters undergo such unlikely psychological contortions that these efforts are to no avail.
50
USA Today - Brian Truitt
Much more concerned with the emotional ties between twin sisters — both played by Game of Thrones’ Natalie Dormer — than scaring the pants off audiences.
50
The New York Times - Neil Genzlinger
A decently executed creeper built around a convincing performance by Natalie Dormer.
50
Variety - Justin Chang
First-time director Jason Zada does generate an intermittently spooky sense of mystery that not even the muddled scripting can fully demolish.
