| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA scary psychological thriller with a powerful finale. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe film's intellectual theme, if I can loosely use the word intellectual, is a reversal of the "Snow White" theme. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanOne of the most consistently disturbing, surprising, and visually beautiful motion pictures I have seen this decade. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeHas a strange beauty, an intensely creepy atmosphere, and a grandly operatic feel. |
| Detroit NewsSusan StarkThis routine fright factory employs the usual horror movie tactics. |
| Film Journal InternationalEd KelleherFor all the movie's extravagances--and it must be admitted that Darius Khondji's cinematography is gloriously extravagant--it just isn't all that frightening. |
| Matinee MagazineChuck RudolphSalient images fly free, thanks to Jordan's acute visual sense. |
| Film Quips OnlineJohn R. McEwenOverall, a mediocre film with a few adequately chilling moments. |

| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonPretty much falls into the bin with the many other serial killer movies made recently. |
