| eFilmCritic.comBrian MckayFor every dozen slasher films, there is one genuinely innovative and hair-raising horror film that dares to take chances and force you to rely on your imagination |
| Digital SpyDaniel SaneyThe film has something for everyone. On the one hand it works very well as a simple scary movie, but on the other it is also a refreshingly thoughtful and masterfully-crafted ghost story. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Cliffordan enjoyable, well made thriller for those who like things that go bump in the night |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendricka classically elegant, yet gut-wringing ghost story with a brilliantly conceived twist ending |
