Critics Consensus

A brutal and effective British hoodie-horror that, despite the clichés, stays on the right side of scary.

An effectively harrowing Brit thriller-cum-horror pic whose yuppie protags' weekend getaway runs violently afoul of the local youth.

3/5

It is impossible not to admire the way Watkins ratchets up the tension in his debut as director (he wrote My Little Eye) and keeps his tale strictly to 90 minutes.

4/5

It's the latest proof that, when it comes to scary movies at least, the British film industry is alive and screaming.

Gets points for the gut-punch of an ending, but the journey to get there isn't entirely fulfilling, despite the talent involved.

This is grossly irresponsible, deeply unlikeable filmmaking.

[An] uncompromisingly bleak film about a vacation goes awry.

Great horror. Funny that Jack O'Connell in Sinners as Remmick is the friendly one compared this and the bone temple.

Je*em ma**r reziseru, za misfortunes scene koje su totalno nerealne, za sakacenje glumaca do te mere da su nesposobni po 10 minuta da naprave logican potez, koji bi svako ljudsko bice u ovakvoj situaciji napravilo. Totalna debilana od filma koja te tera da psujes, ne zbog radnje filma, vec retardiranog scenarija. Pa IT i Znam sta ste radili proslog leta bih dala 5 zvezdica u odnosu na ovo djubre. Gospode Boze, zali potrosenih sat i po vremena na ovo i sve zivce.
