| Nerd ReportFred TopelIt's got a very clear agenda and sets about delivering on that goal precisely. It's way more sure of itself than the movies with more spectacle, and I'll take overall tone over sporadic moments any time. |
| CinemaDopeGlenn LovellBe prepared to be royally creeped out ... an exceedingly rude comment on the current real estate scene ... Archembault's sicko landlord belongs in the same fright gallery as Dieter Laser. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekIt doesn't so much remake formula as tweak it, but despite a few serious logical lapses down the stretch, Zarcoff's slow-burning debut generates some genuine chills. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyZarcoff does a good job building tension. |
| Under the RadarZach Hollwedel13 Cameras is far from a flawless movie, but it's a pleasant surprise and should do well to establish Zarcoff as an emerging filmmaker -- especially of the horror genre -- to watch. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghThe throwaway grimness of the film's final scene is genuinely chilling. |
| Village VoiceMichael NordineMild schadenfreude aside, however, the film inspires almost no feeling at all — even the Friday the 13th movies bother giving the bad guy a backstory. |
| User ReviewChristopher BDisturbing yet intriguing. The ending was a "wtf" moment. Overall I enjoyed it! |
| User ReviewMatt WI honestly do not see what all of the negativity surrounding this movie is all about. I personally found this to be one of the most appealing, creepy movies I have ever seen. The acting is something to be desired at points but the plot is intricate. Minimal acting from the antagonist really conveys the emotion required for such a role. The plot was astounding with so many twists and turns that I was longing for the huge ending and was left very satisfied. |
| User ReviewKyle NI love scary movies so I watch them even if they aren't good, but this one was pretty good! It was definitely creepy! I called some of the plot twists before they happened, but some did surprise me! Totally worth the watch on Netflix. |
