Leave your thoughts about Coffin Rock.
| News of the WorldRobbie CollinThis is writer-director Rupert Glasson's first full-length film and he's made a cracking job of it. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesThe only thing scarier than a crazy lover carrying your child is carrying the child of your crazy lover. |
| Time OutNigel FloydRupert Glasson's persuasive psychological thriller offers an interesting variation on the sociopathic 'stalker' plot. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanThe set-up is deceptively low-key, but the second and third acts deliver textbook suspense and horror. |
| Sunday Times (UK)Cosmo Landesmanhe quiet, understated setup of the first part of the film is an honest and thoughtful exploration of male ego and infertility. Then Glasson turns up the horror heat and his film becomes another bunny-boiler look at obsession. |
| sbs.com.auSimon FosterSpinning Adrian Lyne's Fatal Attraction on the gender axis and milking maximum suspense from its isolated Australian setting, Rupert Glasson's Coffin Rock is a well-crafted thriller. |
| London Evening StandardDerek MalcolmRobert Glasson's film is well-shot and directed, and more than decently acted. As a genre movie, it suffices. |
| Film4Catherine BrayCoffin Rock stands or falls entirely by your reaction to these people - it's not horror, it's a melodramatic thriller, and seen from this perspective, it works nicely. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanHold us on the edge of our seats in a tightly made genre film that boasts outstanding performances and dynamic direction |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterCoffin Rock is not without potential but never catches fire. We don't care about any of the characters, Parsonson's hammy histrionics often make his character laughable rather than terrifying and the violence grows increasingly vile. |
