    The eerie tale is steeped in brooding atmosphere and psychological suspense thanks to Glazer's hugely imaginative visual style and creative use of music, sound, and silence. show more

    Roger EbertChicago Sun-Times

    An effective thriller precisely because it is true to the way sophisticated people might behave in this situation. Its characters are not movie creatures, gullible, emotional and quickly moved to tears. They're realists, rich, a little jaded. show more

    A paranormal mystery without a spine. It has no suspense because it has no belief in itself. show more
