pressMalerman and screenwriter Eric Heisserer... have served up an inexplicably bland ensemble that even a talented cast can't render interesting.

pressAfter such an amazing, awe-inspiring start, it's disappointing this thriller couldn't have thought a little more outside the box.
Screen Daily
pressWith hints of "The Road," "A Quiet Place" and any number of zombie movies, this Netflix horror-thriller is appreciably bleak but also sluggish, never fully fleshing out the themes at the story's core.
IndieWire
pressBier's direction is coolly efficient, which fits the material to a t - anything more ostentatious would just feel wasteful.
Hollywood Reporter
pressA wannabe shocker with a clever premise that doesn't really get down and dirty or betray the base instincts of a born horror filmmaker.
