Suspenseful entertainment -- but it's also a suitably chilling cautionary tale.

Variety by Derek Elley
A no-holds-barred, thoroughly generic follow-up to the medical horror-chiller that wowed German wickets in 2000.

L.A. Weekly by Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
German filmmaker Stefan Ruzowitzky sticks to the formula that made his 2000 thriller “Anatomie” a German hit, offering up a who’s who of young German stars and plunging them into hot-and-cold color schemes, freewheeling camera work and diabolical master-race conspiracies. If Ruzowitzky were as good a storyteller as he is a stylist, he’d have something.

Ruzowitzky concentrates on delivering on sporadic scares at the expense of figuring out how to make individual scenes coalesce into a coherent chiller about medical megalomania.
