Reaction: Very strong numbers from this surprise hit film. The supernatural genre isn't one the studio tackles a lot, but it has been quietly successful with eight of the ten films released making a profit.
"Ben Wheatley makes his LRF directorial debut with Visions, which makes good use of his skill in the horror and thriller genres. Add in a talented cast, and you have a solid film even with the story feeling awfully familiar at times." - Harvey Wallace, New York Magazine
"Despite a strong leading performance from Elisabeth Moss, the story just doesn't feel tied together very well. The tone bounces around a lot from being subdued to very melodramatic." - Michael Carthage, Associated Press
"While the supporting cast isn't given a lot to do, Elisabeth Moss does all the heavy lifting herself with an excellent lead performance. Between this and The Invisible Man, she might be carving out a new role as queen of the thriller." - Bruce Vickers, Baltimore Sun
Rated R for strong violence and sexual content including nudity
