The A.V. ClubScott Tobias
The film goes off the rails in the final third, sacrificing subtle character work at the altar of blood-and-guts survival horror. As mood-killers go, it's like a jab to the back of the neck. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterKirk Honeycutt
A formulaic yet clever chiller that offers generous doses of sex and violence aboard a luxury yacht. Read full review

VarietyTodd McCarthy
Shows the sort of edge in places that will be appreciated by horror fanboys of all ages, but is mostly too overwrought and over-the-top. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen Holden
Until it plunges into gore, the movie remains above the typical splatter 'n' scream fest. These careless hedonists are convincing, and the ensemble acting feels believable; the orgy looks very real. But the realism turns to caricature once the panicked party monsters begin viciously turning on one another. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick

Los Angeles TimesRobert Abele
It's got enough formulaic flair to make it a guilty-pleasure cousin of seaborne nailbiters "Knife in the Water" and "Dead Calm." Read full review

Boston GlobeWesley Morris
A thriller whose title remains printable only because the right people probably don't know that it refers to a violent sex act. Read full review

San Francisco ChroniclePeter Hartlaub
If Stanley Kubrick filmed an orgy like the one in this film, "Eyes Wide Shut" might have been halfway tolerable. Read full review

Village VoiceNick Pinkerton
A workmanlike thriller that works as an (unconscious?) auto-critique of mainstreamed Internet-age hedonism. Read full review
