	Author	Review
United States	Drew Hunt Chicago Reader	"Ferrara made one of the best studio horror film of the 90s with this adaptation of the famous Jack Finney novel (...) The sense of paranoia and anxiety is [palpable]"	POS
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"Ferrara successfully breathes life into an old franchise, with only a slight small change in the narrative but making the aliens significantly more frightening (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"As sheer moviemaking, it is skilled and knowing, and deserves the highest praise you can give a horror film: It works (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"The characters remain sketchy and underdeveloped. Ferrara, though, does get a quietly compelling performance out of Gabrielle Anwar"	NEU
United States	Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle	"Ferrara basically approaches this as a teens-as-outsiders type story while maintaining his striking visual stylistics throughout (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
