| Village VoiceNick PinkertonThis is great filmmaking in the sense that overplayed virtuoso guitar shredding is great music -- which is to say, not at all. |
| Film ThreatJeremy KnoxSo genuinely horrific and unrelentingly sad and grim, many people will not have the stomach for it. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...has elements of horror, as the plethora of knives and hypodermic needles point to, but this is a unique entry for those who like thought-provoking concepts served up with their grue. |
| User ReviewSebastian SWow..It's been several years since I met a film of this calibre.. |
| User ReviewMichael RTwisted. Keeps you interested the whole time. |
| User ReviewKieran HAbsolutely amazing, one of the best thrillers I've seen in a long time |
| User ReviewMichael GThis movie was fucking awesome, Its like a independent british Hitchcockian, niorish nuance type film. Crazy as hell, man, CRAZY AS HELL! |
| User ReviewDown Town Kevin BDefinately going to be a classic thriller. |
| User ReviewAdam EThis is a haunting depiction of mental illness that sustains a high level of eeriness throughout, right down to its dilapidated setting. The trio of actors stun under the gifted direction of Simon Rumley. |
