Reviews & comments
Variety
pressM. Night Shyamalan returns to thriller filmmaking in the style of low-budget impresario Jason Blum with mixed results.
Time Out
pressA bizarre, conflicted mess, horrifying when it’s trying to be funny, oddly appealing when it turns the screws.
The New York Times
pressShyamalan has a fine eye and a nice, natural way with actors, and he has a talent for gently rap-rap-rapping on your nerves.
The Guardian
pressThis tardy rehash of fairytale tropes finds sometime genre innovator M Night Shyamalan clinging in abject desperation to the found-footage movement’s careworn coattails.
Hollywood Reporter
pressWell cast and strong on setting. But the dull thudding that resounds isn’t part of its effective aural design...
FilmInk
pressAn utterly enjoyable and oddly affecting experience that's not only Shyamalan's best film in years but also a cracking thriller in its own right.
Empire Magazine
pressShyamalan finds freshness in familiar horror tropes. After some big budget misfires, it's great to see him go back to his smaller, scarier roots.
