The film is beholden to a strange internal logic that gives primacy not to its protagonist's suffering, but to its maker's thirst for fun.

It's unfortunate that commercial considerations seem to play into the third act, adding a more concrete representation of a very abstract idea.

The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
That space between reality and mirage is where Ms. de Van’s strength, and this movie’s true horror, lies.

Dark Touch is meant to touch a nerve, not merely spook. It’s about deeper fears, and realer monsters.
