	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Enjoyable ghost story makes good use of clashing perspectives."	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"Cleverly complex."	POS
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"A derivative but efficient chiller that cribs from 'Solaris', 'The Shining' and 'The Amityville Horror' yet also shows glimmers of imagination."	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Logic aside, a mounting sense of dread permeates the film. Thankfully, suspense trumps blood and guts. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"Flanagan's a skillful director and editor, and simply by placing the camera in logical but unusual places (...) the tension increases moment by moment, ghost by ghost, frightening reflection by reflection. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
