Metascore®Generally unfavorable reviews Based on a weighted average of all critic review scores.
A sample of reviews from critics across the country.
As for Gellar, she seems game but glum, treading water in a role that represses her comic talents and leaves her little to do but suffer in silence.

Mellow -- nay, snoozy -- atmospherics trump actual scares, and it makes almost zero sense.
Forgettable PG-13 pic will particularly strike fans of harder-edged recent horror pix as much ado about not much.
You may see scarier movies this year, but none so redolent of decomposition.
While Adam Sussman's screenplay can be admired for its emphasis on subtle atmospherics rather than cheap scares, it is a gimmicky slog of an affair that lacks narrative coherence or strong focus.
