The New York Times Stephen Holden
Far from a future cult classic, it turns out to be smarter and more diabolical than you could have guessed at the beginning.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
The film's poky pacing is a liability -- the setup takes an awfully long time.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Paul Malcolm
Whatever the cause, everyone involved takes this blend of slick Verhoeven sleaze and Deliverance-brand musk way too seriously.
Read Full Review >Variety Robert Koehler
Tries to salvage its dopey premise with frantic final-reel plot contortions.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Cheesy horror flick that feels like straight-to-video material.
New York Post Lou Lumenick
Director Uwe Boll and the actors provide scant reason to care in this crude '70s throwback.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
Always a welcome presence in any film, Howard, as a simple-minded hick, gives Blackwoods whatever humor and life it has.
Read Full Review >New Times (L.A.) Andy Klein
Boll uses a lot of quick cutting and blurry step-printing to goose things up, but dopey dialogue and sometimes inadequate performances kill the effect.

What the hell is wrong with you Uwe Boll? You're a sucky director, LIVE WITH IT! DON'T MAKE US SUFFER!

Great movie not like all american thrillers.
Mitch L. gave it a 5:
I totally agree, I loved her song Out in the Rain. She's evidently a German artist. Her site is at http://www.charlemaine.de/index.html
Tom S. gave it a 5:
Good light entertainment with some good hooks and great music. In fact fell in love some songs by Charelmaine. Would love to know if anybody has info on this artist. Thanks, Tom.
