Directed by Bryan Bertino, starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman

“How bad is a stalker/killer flick when it’s just as lame whether the victims live or die? All suspense and no payoff doesn’t look clever, just lazy.”
Kevin A. Ranson, Movie Crypt

“Sometimes, dear reader, there’s no place like home, and that’s just where you should be when this gorefest opens at a theater near you.”
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

“Bertino directs at a funereal pace. Speedman remains comatose, though Tyler flickers fitfully to life. The mournful look on her face suggests she’s remembering the days when she was given more psychologically complex scripts, such as Armageddon.”
Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer

“Let’s give writer-director Bryan Bertino credit. He knows how to frame a shot to make characters seem vulnerable. Now for his next trick, he just needs to turn his talents toward something that isn’t repulsive.”
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
