  • Roger Ebert gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying it depends on characters, atmosphere, sneaky happenings and mounting dread, is not terrifically good, but gives moviegoers what they expect. — Bill Simmons
  • The review is called lukewarm and a slight undersell; a reply calls it accurate for a satisfying, well-made low-budget horror movie that delivers a demon, the further and a crazy score on a Friday night. — Bill Simmons

Roger Ebert's review

In the discussion (4)
Approx. transcript time · 00:21:04Read transcript
  • Roger Ebert gave the film two and a half stars, which is called disappointing.
  • The quoted review calls it a thriller curiously reluctant to get to the payoff, whose robbery motive and method cannot be accepted, with one character not believable and another not understandable.
  • The hosts disagree and have no defense for the score; Ebert gave three stars to many mediocre films, and the acting alone should lock in three stars.
  • A joke suggests Ebert was turned off by the Big Willie and the twins joke in the first minute.
