Mark and Ginger are believable both as a potential couple and as they physically struggle with, and try to think their way out of, their horrific situation, and the fact that we want them to get together even before the haunting starts makes us want that much more for them to overcome it."[4] Film critic Anton Bitel wrote a positive review of the film, calling it "One of the most creepily charming horror films of the last decade".[5]
