Two and a half hour R-rated slow-burn horror film that’s full of horror and suspense, not to mention metaphors galore. Read more

Despite such a lack of orginality, Verbinski's love of this genre is infectious, and it's undeniably fun to watch him tick off its tropes. In terms of pacing, the movie could easily shed 30 minutes, yet at the same time its oppressive length almost becomes immersive, causing us to share Lockhart's frustration at his inability to escape the facility.

A noble effort that is wonderful to look at, if there is enough else there to warrant looking for the entire length of the film. Read more

Just an okay, overlong (at times, over-the-top), and, sadly, underwhelming psychological thriller. Read more

With a tension curve that never rises, the climax comes out of the same bottom-drawer that most B-grade horror endings are found. Read more

Far from perfect, but it’s hard not to praise it for being infectiously stylish, uncompromising, and different.

Its over-indulgences are likely to both frustrate and entertain you in equal measure. Read more

Appears to be a well-crafted horror-thriller purely from superficial qualities.

Ambitiously crazy, filled with haunting imagery, the narrative shortfalls keep this from being what it could have been. Read more

A visually-stunning work, but the abundance of style adds up to an overall hollow experience that fails to connect. Read more

Blinkt echt uit in zijn de prachtige scènes die zowel angstaanjagend als betoverend zijn.

De opbouw is soms wat traag, maar betaald zich dubbel en dwars uit. Read more

Zeer sterk voor een horrorfilm, maar het einde in combinatie met de lage speelduur laat te wensen over. Read more

Door zijn gebruik van prachtige buitenlocaties en antieke sets zorgt Verbinski wel voor een uitstekende sfeer. Helaas ligt hierdoor het tempo erg laag. Read more

Uiteindelijk is de film niet vreselijk, als je het geluid uit zet en de laatste 15 tot 30 minuten eruit zou knippen heb je een aardige film. Read more
