Reviews


80
Total Film - Matt Glasby
Entertaining, engrossing and at times genuinely unnerving, Bruckner’s bad trip is one for horror fans to relish.
63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Brad Wheeler
While thoughtfully done, the entertainment value of this sombre scare fiesta isn’t high. It’s about life’s paths taken and the rituals (and fears) we submit to.
63
Slant Magazine - Henry Stewart
Eventually, the filmmakers reveal the secrets they'd previously withheld, spoiling the film's sustained mystique.
60
Empire - Andrew Lowry
Straightforward, unpretentious and well-acted, this is a solid if unsurprising genre piece.
60
The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw
Spall is good casting in the lead: miserable, hangdog, humorous and scared, like a handsomer version of Josh Widdicombe. James-Collier is a fierce screen presence: some film-maker needs to find something more for him to do.
