C+
"Not pretty, but for a genre that consistently gets off on a Hanna-Barbera aesthetic to shock audiences out of their allowance money, it's interesting to see primal fear put back on the screen."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

F
"...an open-handed insult to fans of the horror genre. The storytelling on display is beneath remedial."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

3/4
"...a gritty and downright brutal horror-movie endeavor..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2/4
"If a horror picture is supposed to scare its audience, then this one has misplaced that goal with an onslaught of broken limbs, chipped-out teeth, and melting pussycats."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

D
"There's some torture, a lot of blood, some deaths, the usual routine, but without any suspense or ingenuity."  Film.com  Eric D. Snider

F
"If the torture-porn genre isn't dead yet, this idiotic exercise in pointless sadism should kill it off for good."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1/5
"Grisly horror film is smothered in blood and gore."  Common Sense Media  James Rocchi

"Parental Content Review"  Screen It!  Jim Judy

"Lacks coherence and subtext, failing to trigger either revulsion or fear."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  John P. McCarthy

2.5/4.0
"Saw meets The Strangers as introduced by Rube Goldberg. Oh, and there's spiders."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

3.5/5
"Amid all the blood and punishment [it] works the suspense chain along with a wrenching soundtrack and a gritty film stock that harkens back to the old horror flicks of the 70s"  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

"A mean-spirited throwback to the nastiest, cruelest home-invasion movies of the '70s and '80s ... And I mean that in the best possible way:"  Horror Hacker  Maitland McDonagh

1/4
"How I clamor for a contemporary horror film that understands that extreme gore does not equal genuine scariness."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

"I was somewhat startled to discover that it actually has a few intriguing qualities amidst the blood and guts."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

3.5/5
"A simple, basic, fast-paced horror thriller that wastes nary a frame on unnecessary set-up, languid exposition, or pointless subplots."  FEARnet  Scott Weinberg
