Watts is wonderful, and the story's forsaken-child theme still has plenty of horrific power.

While nearly every shock comes at predictable moments, there is genuine ingenuity behind many, and the movie is surprisingly fresh for one made by a guy on his third go-round with the same material.

Rolling Stone
You have to admire Nakata's skill at letting the dead run free while hinting that we may have more to fear from the living. With a braver step in that direction, this middling movie would ring more than box-office bells.

Dallas Observer
The movie works while you watch it, with plenty of scares both sudden and psychological.

Variety
Half-intriguing, half-tedious.
