United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"The film unfolds in an interesting way (...) Dillard clearly didn’t have much of a budget, but he makes the most of it (...) It’s a really fun movie that’s both old-fashioned and progressive at the same time."	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A tight, scary survival story (...) The picture will please genre fans who don't mind long stretches with no dialogue."	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"Despite decent suspense (...) [it] is a chiller that’s not quite original or stylish enough to be memorable"	NEU
United States	Bilge Ebiri Vulture	"A no-nonsense monster movie that uses its limitations effectively and tells its story cinematically (...) [Everything] is handled with subtlety and care"	POS
United States	Alex Billington First Showing	"The scary moments in this are genuinely scary, in a basic but very effective way. Dillard isn't trying to reinvent the (horror) wheel, but rather just work on a small scale and give us something dope."	POS
United States	Meredith Borders Bloody Disgusting	"[It] doesn’t waste a moment. It’s a beautiful and exhilarating film with an extraordinary leading performance and one hell of a big bad (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
