| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsA high attrition, haunted house throwback certain to send chills up your spine! |
| Filmcritic.comJosh BellBarely rises to the level of a made-for-Syfy time-waster. |
| Miss FlickChickMaitland McDonaghFeckless young people play a cursed board game that unleashes repressed desires, rips the scabs off festering wounds and brings seething resentments to a boil: Predictable slasher mayhem ensues. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovA solid, intermittently excellent, and extremely exsanguinatory take on what Stephen King famously referred to as the "Spam in a cabin" genre. |
| Time OutJoshua RothkopfWatching people play a board game ain’t ever going to be scary, and that’s essentially what we have here. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThis generic horror meller would be most at home debuting on Syfy -- perhaps double-billed with "Pinata: Survival Island." |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyGive the movie a little credit for coming up with the idea of an ancient monster. And the design of the game is terrific. But this is just Jumanji with gore effects and topless scenes. |
| Boxoffice MagazinePam GradyPoor word of mouth should doom it for a quick ride to DVD oblivion. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleDirector/co-screenwriter Gabriel Bologna, working vigorously at hokey predictability, wastes little time getting us to wish his obnoxious characters (why do people who seemingly hate each other always vacation together?) would find their inner maniacs already. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chasethe ongoing slaughter is just so much screen time that passes so dully as to qualify as audience torture worse than anything these characters suffer, and their suffering involves a chainsaw at one point |
