	Media	Author	Review
		FilmAffinity	The movie got good reviews from the digital media specialized in the horror genre.
		Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"Few have tackled the subject with quite the same level of forensic detail (...) It succeeds in making a distinctly creepy chamber drama from familiar ingredients."
		Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle	"Gavin builds the depth subtly, as seemingly simple and increasingly ornate as the chalk patterns that Howard and Solomon inscribe with academic preciseness."
		Tara Brady Irish Times	"Ambiguity soon segues into full-blown weirdness in Liam Gavin’s impressive debut feature (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"A striking marriage of acting and atmosphere (...) Its true magic lies in its construction"
		Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"The problem is that the ritual mumbo jumbo (...) gets old after a while, and wondering whether anything will come of it loses its tension as well."
		Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice	"[The final is not] as singular as what the long, effective buildup promises. Still, the performances are strong and the scenecraft absorbing."
