A soulless amalgamation of several horror classics, and marks another dud in the career of Renee Zellweger.

The end of Zellweger as we've known her.

By the time the killings start, it's clear that Ray Wright's screenplay is more interested in following formula than in breaking new ground.

[A] dumb thriller.
October 02, 2010
An aggressively inept demon-seed chiller starring a bunch of grown-ups who should've known better.

From a bevy of cheesy jolt scares (alarm clock! barking dog!) to the embarrassing sight of Zellweger and Ian McShane treating this Orphan-style B-movie silliness with grave seriousness, the film proves to be one hokey-horror riot.
