Terrible film. Acting was bland and uninspiring. Nothing about it was scary. Tension was meek at best. Avoid.

Evokes intense feelings. The imagery used to help viewers to understand the psychological effects of war and loss worked well. Brilliantly acted.

It's a strong debut by Weekes and nails the essential part of a horror movie: the horror.

Rated: 3.5/5

Screen International

The film has much to say about grief, guilt, assimilation and the on-going refugee crisis. And on top of all that, it's also a nifty nerve-jangler.

Medium Popcorn

I very much enjoyed this...it's not exactly a horror film the way it was advertised but it was well paced and executed. It's definitely a conversation starter with it's themes on pain and grief.

Rated: 3/5
