Salon - Charles Taylor
Amusing, ultra-deadpan entertainment. The director was lucky enough to have a cast who were in on the joke and tuned in to his wavelength.

Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
Elegant, scary fun.

TNT RoughCut - Unnamed
Fairly enjoyable as an old-fashioned horror yarn -- or, if that doesn't work for you, as a black comedy about an obsessive collector.
60
Film.com - Peter Brunette
Compulsively watchable and its occasional lapses into that familiar Polanskian overkill are almost charming.

The New York Times - A.O. Scott
About as scary as a sock-puppet re-enactment of "The Blair Witch Project," and not nearly as funny.
