Genre: Drama/Horror
Director: Chan-wook Park
Writer: Andrew Doster
Cast: Elle Fanning, Dakota Fanning, Eva Green, Jason Sudeikis, Bella Heathcote, Willow Shields, Timothy Olyphant, Jon Voight
Budget: $28,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $37,727,069

Reaction: Solid numbers to end a solid first round of the season. Home video numbers weren't particularly strong for the film though, which made the profits lower than they probably should have been. The film was also drastically more successful than Andrew Doster's previous film, the critical and box office bomb Zombieworld.
"Chan-wook Park's latest is essentially all tone and mood. The director seems to have little interest in his plot or actors, despite a solid cast, and it shows in the work." - Chris Knowles, TV Guide
"I feel like the film is a bit of a missed opportunity. There is a great film to be made out of the story of the Papin sisters, but I'm not sure this is it." - Madison Bennett, Vanity Fair
"The stunt casting of the Fanning sisters is a little distracting at first. They are talented, but the standout performance here is from Eva Green." - Lisa Winger, Newsday
