 "...darkly hilarious... Alice Lowe and Steve Oram are convincing as the central psychos... Ben Wheatley depicts the U.K. countryside as both picturesque and lethal." |

 "...lunatically haphazard... Why did Umbrella capture Alice in the first place?... It's tempting to say that W.S. Anderson is not really in the 'Why?'-answering business." |

 "...superior to many low-budget terror flicks since 'Paranormal'... benefits hugely from Dimitri Diatchenko's performance as moviedom's Worst. Tour. Guide. Ever." |

 "...holds the attention for the first half, assisted by Heitor Dhalia's fat-free direction and Seyfried's evocative saucer-eyes. But by the end, viewers may be left pondering..." |
