CRITIC	RATING	QUOTE
Chicago Tribune Jessica Reaves	2	There are few words to describe the awfulness of this movie, but let's give it the old college try: dismal, depressing, embarrassing and utterly lacking in any artistic or social worth.
E!	0	...a Z-grade offering that at best belongs on the Sci Fi Channel...
filmcritic.com Chris Cabin	2	...doesn't have one new thing going for it, nor does it really have anything tacky or funny enough to qualify it as a guilty pleasure. You can feel the ennui of the director, actors, and writer in every single frame.
New York Post Kyle Smith	6	After a sly middle, though, the third act is just slasher-flick clichés; worse, it largely keeps Tamara offscreen.
TV Guide Maitland McDonagh	5	Repetitive and uninspired, it panders to the lowest expectations of horror buffs and squanders the efforts of a competent cast.
Slant Magazine Nick Schager	3	...a familiar B-grade mix of excessive gore and insufficient imaginativeness.
New York Times Nathan Lee	4	A low-budget horror film with even lower ambitions...
LA Weekly Ella Taylor	3	...simply doesn’t cover all the bases in its drive to be both a grubby teen splatter flick and a more high-minded thriller.
Village Voice R. Emmet Sweeney	5	...a Carrie knockoff that survives solely on the repetitive pleasures of genre.
