Reaction: This one just couldn't find an audience anywhere. It under-performed in theaters both domestically and overseas, and its poor home video figures did not help make up the difference.
"The turns the story takes come across as silly, like a weird dream. Castles in the Nevada desert? Raimi may direct the film in his usual stylish manner, but he doesn't help make sense of the plot." - Chris Knowles, TV Guide
"This is certainly not the follow-up I expected for Elle Fanning to her acclaimed work in Perfect Blue and Letter to Myself. It is a thankless role of a damsel in distress in a nonsensical horror fantasy." - Madison Bennett, Vanity Fair
"Don't worry about the story. Watch this one for the fantastical style director Sam Raimi has conjured, and to see Charlize Theron chew up the scenery as the film's witchy villain." - Stephen Anderson, Entertainment Weekly
