The script is a lifeless succession of moral debates and stormy horror flashbacks, though I had a good time watching Jennifer Carpenter...

One of very the few PG-13 horrors that actually does scare me, because it feels realistic, it feels adult, and it feels like there is real weight and dramatic implications.

A classy 'boo!' movie for those who like their horror polite.

Presented in isolation and it would represent a broadly watchable and entertaining horror film. Interweaved with the more realistic and grounded legal drama, and the two sides elevate one another to make a film better than either half on its own.
