What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Kirk Honeycutt  A minimalist and unimaginative horror thriller. | 5 |  |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert It is no small consolation that the customers who insist on their horror movie this weekend will see a well-made one. | 15 |  |
| eye Weekly Jason Anderson Slow to start and not much swifter after the nastiness has begun, the movie is further hampered by its silly contrivances, bland heroine and hopelessly hammy villain. | 5 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli For about the first two thirds of the roughly 90 minute running time, this is a solidly made motion picture, combining white-knuckle tension with black humor and arguably the most impressive cleavage to grace the screen this year. However, as the movie accelerates toward its inevitable conclusion, things become increasingly silly and over-the-top. | 13 |  |
| ScreenItWith nowhere to go and little to do or say that's particularly interesting or novel, the film gets lost in its own underground trappings, never managing to take viewers somewhere they haven't already been. | 8 |  |
