- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A pure, unapologetic, unironic homage to the likes of "Friday the 13th" that respectfully salutes all the old shtick."
-
"Deftly juggles gore and suspense (...) but basically this is one more horror pic on the distinguished road already trodden by 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre,'"
-
"Some viewers will hate Aja's movie for its end-game reveal; others will love it for the very same reason"
-
"For much of its duration the film is a case of intense fare done with an undeniable effectiveness and ingenuity -- until it lurches into a deplorable surprise twist"
-
"The film revels in blood and gore, but this is not just a run-of-the-mill splatter film. There's a lot of intelligence in both the script and in Alexandre Aja's direction."
