Reaction: We knew from the get-go that this one would be a hard sell, although the $10 million budget is still one of the higher ones given to a Nicolas Winding Refn film (but small for a studio release, and the lowest budget yet for a Last Resort Films release).
"Avoid this film unless you are a big fan of the director's smaller budget work like The Neon Demon or Only God Forgives. It is another pretentious, brooding effort from Nicolas Winding Refn." - Samuel O'Brien, Sight and Sound Magazine
"Director Nicolas Winding Refn has crafted another visual feast with this moody, beautiful, sexy, bloody horror film. Each is actor is impeccably cast, even model Barbara Palvin who is a vision on screen (and is wisely not asked to do too much by Refn)." - Sean Sullivan, Financial Times
"Nicolas Winding Refn's work is so divisive that it is genuinely difficult to critique his films. I didn't particularly enjoy his latest release, but it is definitely an on-brand effort from the auteur." - Janelle Arbor, Vogue
