Taking Don’t Look Now as a reference point, Gary Sinyor’s film is turgid, flabby and – despite some committed performances and great ideas – toothless, with neither tension nor bite.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
A drama of upper-middle-class menace that can’t quite bring itself to be a full-on slasher movie, this has a few too many clichés but offers some creepiness and decent performances.

While the “Wait Until Dark”-like suspense of the film’s climax feels a little rote, that’s OK, because the foggy depiction of a troubled marriage is plenty disturbing.
The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
When The Unseen works it has an interestingly airless atmosphere, a weirdly disconnected, alienated quality that mimics the couple’s fraught emotional state. But the tension and sense of fear were lacking.
The Observer (UK) by Simran Hans
The film lurches into conventional horror-thriller territory as it progresses, though there are interesting moments.
