„British writer-director Jamie Thraves, who hails from music videos, works up a crisp, elegantly foreboding visual bleakness […] but, overall, it’s the kind of technically proficient, deliberately paced, grim sleepwalk that leaves one cold rather than cracked open.“ – Besprechung in der Los Angeles Times, 12. März 2010.
„A far cry from suspenseful […] director Jamie Thraves, who wrote the screenplay, fails to draw out the novel’s many intriguing elements.“ – Besprechung im Toronto Star, 20. Mai 2010.
