Reaction: Fantastic numbers for an R-rated more high-brow horror film. We have to assume the big name cast helped bring in the crowds for this one (Jake Gyllenhaal is going to quickly start rivaling Tom Cruise as LRF's highest paid star if he keeps churning out hits like this).
"Blackbird is an unsettling, spooky tale featuring solid lead performances and atmospheric visuals thanks to Chan-wook Park's direction." - Bruce Vickers, Baltimore Sun
"The film takes a little while to get going, but once it does it gets real spooky and stays real spooky all the way up to the end, a true testament to the script by Seth Overton and the direction by Chan-wook Park." - Stephen Anderson, Entertainment Weekly
"Blackbird fits right in with the rest of Chan-wook Park's filmography, especially films like Oldboy and Thirst. He is once again in top form here, delivering an unnervingly hypnotic film." - Vincent Kerr, Washington Post
