San Francisco Examiner by G. Allen Johnson
It's simply terrible.

ReelViews by James Berardinelli
With each death, the film becomes less interesting. By the end, it's just a routine slasher flick with a too-predictable final "twist."

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Liam Lacey
Like Frankenstein's monster before the lightning strikes, it's all recycled cold flesh and bolts, without a twitch of originality.

Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov
Spottily directed and lacking the dubious merits of even the Friday the 13th franchise, this is one slasher film that should die a quick and lonely box-office death.

San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle
A premise so rock-solid, so guaranteed to please, that it almost doesn't matter that the movie is otherwise a routine slasher, and not a particularly scary one.

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
The film is competently made, and the attractive cast emotes and screams energetically.

Entertainment Weekly by Ty Burr
Proficiently filmed and utterly uninspired.
