Review
"A really smart little horror flick. How horrific is it? I'm far from brave, but good at temporary detachment - at the eager restoration of disbelief - and I still had to turn away at several points... This modest little genre piece is smarter than most of the overproduced and heavily marketed studio fare that's been filling the multiplexes this fall. It's short, taut, nicely shot, well-acted, astutely directed, specific where it might have been generic, original enough to be engrossing and derivative enough to be amusing. In other words, it knows exactly where it belongs and how to be its best self. What a revolutionary concept." - Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
