90It begins by scaring you to death by evoking a monster, and by the end it has seduced you into caring for him.
-
80Williams gives a performance that is riveting in its recessiveness and, as a consequence, truly, deeply scary.
-
60If this is the direction Williams is headed in his career, fantastic. For auteur Romanek, it was at least a good first try.
-
30An art-house horror movie, and like most art-house versions of genre films, all the vitality and juice of genre conventions have been sucked right out. The irony of the movie is that it puts you into the same torpor that's supposed to be afflicting the characters.
