---|---|---|---|---|
"The film, too artfully conceived to deliver many overt shocks, often feels long and aimless." | ||||
"Anderson, his superb ensemble cast and inspired cinematographer Uta Briesewitz, appeal at once to the intellect and the emotions as they build suspense and tension mercilessly." | ||||
"The story doesn't quite pay off, characters are underwritten and the surprise ending is contrived and unconvincing. " | ||||
"You couldn't ask for a better setting for a horror movie. What you could ask for is a better script." | ||||
"The film isn't remotely scary. That's a shame, because it has top-notch performances" | ||||
"Despite the talent involved and the unbearable atmosphere of the asylum, the script is a letdown. The final resolution is more ludicrous than convincing." | ||||
"A unique evocation of just how terrifying it is to loose one’s mind. (...) Claustrophobic and terrifying." | ||||
"The film never creates any true suspense, and the bloody climax feels forced and phony." |
