Reviews

The lexicon of the international film judges: “ Horror thriller with an absurd story, which conjures up a nightmarish atmosphere with shocking murder scenes, oppressive visions of fear and dark rock songs.

The magazine TV direkt 5/2007 wrote that the film was a " wasted opportunity " and offered " only cheap shocks ".

Ryan Cracknell wrote in the Apollo Guide that not everything in the film makes sense. The movie leg hold " stereotypes " and " consumed superficial characters " ( " overused shallow character types ").
