Critics' reviews

"The demon in question is not of the fiendishly inventive variety (...) [A] pretty stale thriller (...) [It] gets silly in ways that we've seen onscreen for decades"

John DeFore: The Hollywood Reporter
"A scare-free horror film (...) The movie isn’t scary, it isn’t gripping, it isn’t fun, and it isn’t fueled by any sort of clever compulsion."

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"For all of the film’s ridiculous moments, and there are plenty, Wadlow manages to deliver a few solid gut punches and twists that give the story just enough weight to keep viewers hooked."

Jamie Righetti: Indiewire
"It won’t win any Oscars, but it’s good-n-nasty fun (...) It all works (...) It’s the kind of horror movie that’s so old it almost feels new again."

Scott Mendelson: Forbes
"The film's truths and dares are unremarkable, and the players are mostly boring (...) The only winning move is not to play."

William Bibbiani: IGN
"Hale and Posey are likable leads and director Jeff Wadlow (...) injects proceedings with a propulsiveness which allows you to mostly ignore the odd plot strand"

Clark Collis: Entertainment Weekly
"It’s a muddled, contradictory, confusing mess, made even more so by the darkly cynical streak that runs through the film."

Katie Rife: AV Club
"Silly, spirited horror plays a fast-paced game (...) Truth: it’s watchable trash (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Benjamin Lee: The Guardian
