3/5	Jim Schembri	The performances from the young cast are a tad bland, but director Jon Hewitt infuses his low-budget genre jolter with just enough menace as it powers towards an effective, if predictable, climax. Full Review \| Comment \| May., 01 2009 04:11 AM	The Age (Australia)
	Jason Di Rosso	The bleak suburban setting and the mischievous, if somewhat downbeat adolescent lead characters recall Gus Van Sant's oeuvre, though Hewitt doesn't achieve anywhere near the same degree of nuance. Full Review \| Comment \| Apr., 17 2009 05:24 AM	MovieTime, ABC Radio National
	Colin Fraser	A requisite number of gory, slashing, scream-filled moments raise the heartbeat as kids chase killers, and the killers chase kids. What's missing is a freshness of purpose, and the conviction of motive. You know, the important stuff. Full Review \| Comment \| Apr., 17 2009 05:23 AM	FILMINK (Australia)
3/5	David Stratton	Unfortunately, after a strong first half, the film degenerates into some messily unconvincing blood-letting which might attract devotees of the genre but which is disappointingly conventional given what�s come before.

	Andrew L. Urban	A combo of psychological thriller and bloody chiller... a superior piece of genre filmmaking Full Review \| Comment \| Apr., 11 2009 01:20 AM	Urban Cinefile
2.5/4	David Nusair	...maddeningly uneven... Full Review \| Comment \| Nov., 07 2008 05:45 PM	Reel Film Reviews
