3/4
"An elegiac piece of filmmaking that transcends cheap thrills"
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
4/5
"takes a smart and terrifying scenario and plays it out to the logical extreme"
MovieWeb
Chris Barsanti
B
"Fessenden's best film to date is a horror movie built on eerie atmosphere and unspoken terror. Director of photography Magni Agustsson achieves beautiful visual textures and distances that allow hidden meanings to saturate the audience."

"As such terror is harder and harder to articulate, the film is most effective when it abandons dialogue and leaves the camera to do its very spooky work."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
2/4
"...sporadically intriguing but mostly dull."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
"Sparse special effects are pretty hokey, and the plot is nothing new, rehashing as it does scores of sci-fi-slash-horror films over many years."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
"Impatient horror viewers looking for a quick gore fix will be disappointed and those looking for a smart cautionary sci-fi eco thriller will be baffled at what is a bit of a wasted opportunity. . ."

James O'Ehley
4.5/5
"Come for the eerie unworldly menace, but stay for the well-balanced currents of terror that manages to sustain itself throughout the film."
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
B+
"This is Fessenden's most impressive production to date with its swooping camerawork, majestic landscape and mounting sense of doom....

Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
3/4
"Fessenden consistently ignores contemporary trends in fright films; his brand of horror unfolds at the intersection of myth and modern-day malaise and gets there by way of a slow, excruciating build up rather than a series of short, sharp shocks."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
3/4
"What with his interest in using B movies as vehicles for intelligent political and psychological inquiries, Larry Fessenden is the type of genre craftsman easy to champion."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
7/10
"A well done low budget indie production that lets the viewers' imagination picture how bad it gets when mother earth is finally pushed past the breaking point"
