Reaction: The drama genre seems to have killed this film's chances at the box office. Maybe if there were bigger name actors in the film, it could have helped sell the film - but it would have come at the expense of the film's budget.
"Karyn Kusama has built an entire career around her penchant for strong female lead characters. Her impact is definitely felt in this one with the number of solid female characters throughout the film." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine
"While the story doesn't always live up to the strong set-up, Rachel Rising is a more than serviceable supernatural thriller with solid direction and a talented cast." - Chris Knowles, TV Guide
"The lead role probably could have used someone a bit more charismatic than Evan Rachel Wood. Don't get me wrong, she's a talented dramatic actress, but her acting style led to some scenes feeling lower than maybe they should have based on the material. She plays the material all too serious, whereas castmates Emmy Rossum and Annette Bening appear to get the tone a bit better." - Madison Bennett, Vanity Fair
