"M. Night Shyamalan returns to thriller filmmaking in the style of low-budget impresario Jason Blum with mixed results."

Variety
Variety"A bizarre, conflicted mess, horrifying when it’s trying to be funny, oddly appealing when it turns the screws."
—
Time Out
Time Out"Shyamalan 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 New York Times
The New York Times"This tardy rehash of fairytale tropes finds sometime genre innovator M Night Shyamalan clinging in abject desperation to the found-footage movement’s careworn coattails."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"No spoilers, except to say that cheap thrills can still be a blast."
—
Rolling Stone
Rolling Stone"Well cast and strong on setting. But the dull thudding that resounds isn’t part of its effective aural design..."
—
Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"An 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."
—
FilmInk
FilmInk"Shyamalan finds freshness in familiar horror tropes. After some big budget misfires, it's great to see him go back to his smaller, scarier roots."
