Director Dominik Moll knows how to make a gruesome-free thriller and even manages some dark laughs as he turns the screws.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

The New York Times by Dave Kehr
A strange and funny film, smart, complex and difficult to shake.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Desmond Ryan
The film is a small and polished gem that proves that with a friend like Harry, nobody needs an enemy.

Moll ratchets his suspense with impressive mastery, wringing a maximum of excruciating terror out of the humblest everyday materials.

Wall Street Journal by Joe Morgenstern
I did enjoy the movie's mercurial moods -- anxiety, terror, whimsical horror -- and I welcomed its confirmation that the work of the devil includes SUVs.

New York Post by Jonathan Foreman
Often darkly funny and very well acted, it's a pleasingly subtle, Hitchockian thriller with dark comic overtones.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
Moll, in only his second feature, evokes a sense of foreboding, playing the routine against the unnerving, the humorous against the sinister, with a wit and deftness that might have impressed Hitchcock.

Portland Oregonian by Kim Morgan
A witty, frightening, well-acted picture with near-perfect cinematic timing.

Baltimore Sun by Michael Sragow
Critically lacks Highsmith's sixth sense for drawing you into the heart and soul of sociopaths, then jolting you with the realization that things are much worse even than they seem.

An insistent, insinuating film -- both in terms of its plot and characters, and in its impact on the viewer -- Harry's effects are small-scale but so perfectly pitched that they never seem small.
