B+
"Not really a movie about a simple plan that turns out to be a terrible idea, but a movie about a terrible idea that turns out to be a terrible idea"

Carlo Cavagna
B+
"This is a strong, gut-wrenching, suspenseful film, one of the top ten of 1998."

"I think director Raimi wanted this film to be another Fargo, and instead it was more like the first Evil Dead - all Billy Bob's charisma and nought else."

Karina Montgomery
4/4
"The theme of the ever-shifting tides of evil within people is a perfect fit for the dark sensibilities of Raimi."
