Critic Reviews

  • Michael Hardy, Boston Globe
    The city ends up being more interesting than the story or characters. Too bad we can barely see it. More...
  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
    The elegant decay of Bucharest offers welcome visual relief from this otherwise tedious goth romance. More...
  • Mark Holcomb, Time Out New York
    Cheap special effects and banal dialogue rule. More...
  • Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly
    Moments of inspiration vie in vain with Goth cliché. More...
  • Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

  • Robert Dominguez, New York Daily News
    Somewhere, Lon Chaney Jr. must be howling mad. More...
