CRITICS REVIEWS

“
Chicago Sun-TimesRichard Roeper
“This intense and claustrophobic gore-fest is far removed from the elegiac tone of “A Quiet Place.” It’s more like a “Saw” movie, mixed in a bloody blender with elements from films such as “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “The Cabin in the Woods” and “The Hills Have Eyes” and even “Carrie.” And yet there are a few genuinely thought-provoking sequences sprinkled in.”

“
VarietyDennis Harvey
“It offers nothing particularly new, yet it fulfills the only requirement that really matters for this kind of movie — it’s scary.”

“
Los Angeles TimesCarlos Aguilar
“Convincingly creepy while also slightly thought-provoking, it warns about deceiving facades, because what hides underneath masks is possibly much worse.”

“
The Hollywood ReporterJustin Lowe
“A lethal little ensemble feature that packs quite a few thrills into a compact format.”

“
Unknown SourceArizona Republic
“In an era where horror films are attempting to get smarter (a nod to you, “A Quiet Place,”) this just makes everyone dumber.”
