 "...borders on the over-convoluted in its conspiracy-theory intricacies, and occasionally risks silliness.... But it's all very confidently handled by Philipp Stoelzl..." |

 "...unconventional, unsettling.... More satisfying as an exercise in ambiguous atmosphere than as a fully realized narrative or character study..." |

 "...a moderately tense but also somewhat monotonous and overstretched exercise in claustrophobic suspense... not entirely compelling." |

 "...a middling drama that tries to combine elements of 'Rambo' with serious treatment of soldiers' post-traumatic stress disorder and vague political commentary." |

 "...above-average PG-13 horror, getting quite a bit of tension out of its waking-nighmare scenario via lensing (Brendan Steacy) and editing (Ed Gass-Donnelly)..." |

 "...solid genre entertainment... just enough above average to make one wish it had one memorable spark of conceptual inspiration up its sleeve." |

 "...a most enjoyable flashback.... While there may still be room for a more definitive documentary on the subject, Archibald's effort is solid enough to serve quite nicely..." |

 "...there's nary a dud among the four main tales, which each whip elements of terror, macabre humor and the fantastical into a giddy frenzy." |

 "Green's latest is closer to his poetical indie dramas than to his Hollywood efforts. But both paths actually harmonize in a warmly enjoyable dual-character study..." |

 "...impressively showcases Steve Coogan's more dramatic side.... feels somewhat superficial, but then, perhaps Raymond was most truly himself on the flashy surface." |

 "...doesn't develop all its narrative and thematic ideas to the fullest.... it's still a novel ride that confidently mixes horror, humor and offbeat character fillips." |

 "...all nothing-much-happening setup until a still-teasing titular event that occupies just a few final seconds.... The nothing-happening part is actually fairly diverting..." |

 "An unnerving home-invasion thriller... Josh Close's judicious script provides for a long, ominous buildup that Jeremy Power Regimbal milks with crafty restraint." |

 "More hectic and far less eerie than the first film... There's gore but precious little imagination or mystique at work... looks hastily conceived and executed on all fronts." |

 "...monotonous... an unusually dull, suspenseless movie about the fetishistic disemboweling of women... so stripped-down there's almost nothing left..." |

 "The film has a somewhat insular feel that both intrigues and frustrates.... somewhere between a glorified making-of album promo and a more in-depth portrait of the artist." |

 "Yet another example of uninspired faux-found-footage horror.... so who cares whether they're Bigfoot, space aliens or Grandma Moses?... a time-wasting cheat." |
