	Author	Review
United States	Charles Grant Variety	"The 1970s setting offers a retro feel that should strike appealing chords for fans of old-school horror, but there’s little here that’s exactly new or fresh."	NEU
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"As an exercise in retro pastiche, it impresses. But as a postmodern genre reinvention, it fails to deliver."	NEU
United Kingdom	Mike McCahill The Guardian	"The arrestingly fierce Cooke, in particular, is surely a star in the making. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Many of the movie's more nominally horrific elements are too familiar."	NEU
United States	Jordan Hoffman New York Daily News	"It's the latest reminder that when a strange doctor invites you to work on an experiment in a secluded house, the answer should always be 'No, thank you'. (...) Rating: ★ (out of five)"	NEG
