Critics' reviews

"Though it's based on a promisingly outrageous premise ... the film unfolds as a tired, thoroughly conventional police procedural that might as well be titled 'CSI: Roma.'"

Dave Kehr: The New York Times
"Fans of the cult helmer who expect the usual gore will be disappointed -- but there are compensations."

V.A. Musetto: New York Post
"Watching the online cards turn slowly (sometimes painfully so) in the film is to be reminded of how good Argento used to be when his aesthetic approach was less synthetic. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Ed Gonzalez: Slant
