What are critics saying?

The New York Times by A.O. Scott
About as scary as a sock-puppet re-enactment of "The Blair Witch Project," and not nearly as funny.
80
Amusing, ultra-deadpan entertainment. The director was lucky enough to have a cast who were in on the joke and tuned in to his wavelength.
30
A nonsensical mishmash.
30
Never quite becomes unwatchable.
25
A supernatural thriller that is neither super, natural, nor thrilling.
33
Entertainment Weekly by Lisa Schwarzbaum
A film not even a star as foxed and foxy as Johnny Depp himself could save.

Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington
Elegant, scary fun.
60
Compulsively watchable and its occasional lapses into that familiar Polanskian overkill are almost charming.
