"If you enjoy ghost stories, don’t miss this one."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

3/4
"Osment has since developed the nasty habit of being the best actor in the room."  Film Freak Central  Bill Chambers

4/5
"A genuinely creepy film with a solid story, great acting, and a surprise ending that not even a jaded critic like me saw coming."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

2/4
"Here is a movie of long, mind-numbing, tiresome proportions and a brilliant conclusion. No one, however, should be forced to endure all the heartache just for five minutes of audacious footage."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

2.5/4
"Even with its potentially interesting supernatural bent, it's still largely schlock footage."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  David N. Butterworth

B-
"It was entertaining."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

6/10
"a good film that shows even better things that lie in the future"  Draxblog Movie Reviews  Dragan Antulov

3.5/4
"Amazing, too, how the ending has the sheer power to completely blindside you when the final, ultimate twist occurs."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

3/4
"The ghost story is alive and well in Hollywood."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

1.5/4
"I had to employ all of my usual tricks to keep from falling asleep!"  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3.5/4
"A unique, frightening movie that is never gratuitous or obvious."  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

5/5
"Intricate, intimate thriller is full of superb performances, deft direction."  Netflix  James Rocchi

"A serious, thought-provoking film that contains some of the spookiest, creepiest and eeriest moments I've seen on film in quite some time."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

8/10
"Wow. What an ending. I don't think I've been this moved by a film's conclusion since the frighteningly shocking end of David Fincher's Seven (10/10)."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

3/4
"Mr. Willis gives a surprisingly quiet performance."  Big Picture Big Sound  Joe Lozito

8/10

2.5/4
"Plana en sus secuencias durante la mayor parte del tiempo"  Moviola  Jorge Avila Andrade

5/5
"One of the most original paranormal films I've ever seen."  3BlackChicks Review  Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel

3.5/4
"This is much more than a scary movie or a ghost story. It's a riveting psychological thriller about death and its manifestations."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

6/10
"Purely and simply torturous!"  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

high +2 out of -4..+4

3.5/4

9/10
"An extraordinarily well-told ghost story."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

5/5
"M. Night Shyamalan é, ao lado dos irmãos Wachowski, uma das grandes revelações de 1999."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

5/5
"A low-key triumph of mood and menace."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

8/10
"The story doesn't cheat by resorting to action or scare clichés. It sticks right to the main conflict and it keeps it in human terms."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

B+
"Intelligence and substance in a summer horror flick? Who'd of thought it."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

A-
"Much more than a one-trick puzzle movie… the logic holds emotionally and narratively, and Shyamalan brings satisfying closure to all his characters and their sorrows."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus

9/10
