| GuardianPeter BradshawIn the end, this looks like just another crass, unimaginative and heavy-handed British horror. A shame, because the opening 20 minutes or so are interesting and atmospherically creepy. |
| TeletextVictor OlliverEarly scenes, when strange sounds fill the studio and a phone keeps ringing, are creepy enough - but when a hidden message is detected on a track, the film crumbles from tinnitus. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerBadly directed, poorly written and ultimately scare-free British horror flick that looks embarrassingly cheap and completely wastes its talented cast. |
| Independent (UK)Anthony QuinnIts influences, from The Conversation to The Shining, are worn like cheap tattoos, while its jittery editing and blurred photography fail to hide the yawning emptiness at its centre. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsThe horror dial's turned down to mute in a British fright flick about a dead rock star haunting a recording studio. While there's the germ of a good idea here, the execution is just terrible. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Tim RobeyEitan Arrusi's movie appears to have been shot through dirty glass and edited in a blender - it may drive you mad. |
| Times (UK)Wendy IdeOccult thriller Reverb soon gets bogged down in implausibility and sloppy writing. |
| Time OutDavid JenkinsIt just about works as an exercise in empty style, but that doesn't compensate for the small matter of its near-total incomprehensibility. |
| Total FilmRosie FletcherThe whole thing takes itself so seriously it's not even good for a laugh. Maybe it's scarier if you play it backwards. |
| Sky CinemaTim EvansLike a quadruple disc concept album from the most indulgent prog-rock act of the 1970s, this is a complete mess. |
