| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertMany scenes are set in dark parking lots and dirty city streets, but you sense the locations were chosen because they were inexpensive. There is some pleasure to be had counting continuity mistakes. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a far more effective piece of work than one might've expected... |
| The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)Mark PalermoRise is middling, but not by doing things the wrong way. It's not wild enough. |
| 7M PicturesKevin Carrfar from perfect, but it's better than most direct-to-video horror you'll find out there. Heck, it's better than some of the theatrical releases we've seen this year |
| Globe and MailKamal Al-Solaylee[Director] Gutierrez sustains a heightened mood of sex and violence that, without breaking new ground, entertains in the way Gothic flicks do: a combination of cheap thrills and a good old-fashioned crusade against evil. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellYou can thank a capable cast led by the estimable Lucy Liu, and work by writer/director Sebastian Gutierrez that succeeds in making the formulaic seem fresh. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergA dry and dreary little affair, one that's almost shamefully beholden to B-flicks that are a lot more energetic and a lot less intent on being taken so seriously. |
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyA tedious Blade rip-off. No suspense or scares, but lots of boredom. |
| IGN MoviesScott ColluraIt's a blood-red affair thrown together in a dash, a little number that will ultimately get the same kind of treatment from audiences as it did from those who made it: something you might cue up in the DVD player on a whim and forget just as easily. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsLucy Liu is always welcome on my screen, an actress who marries intelligence with feminine mystique, bundled with a dry wit and the ability to make action roles credible. |
