Packed with spooky ambience this intelligent and well-crafted film relies more on understated chills and sound instead of special effects. Never once do you see the ghosts which just adds to the mood.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
Not only is it atmospheric and absolutely terrifying at parts, it is well-written, intelligent, and (for a thriller) deep. It got under my skin in ways I never thought possible; the film takes advantage of the simple fears we all share--darkness, sourceless noises, helplessness. 99/100--Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
