"It's far from a perfect film, but Ari Aster's skills as a director are put to good use here, keeping the mood of the film dark and ominous. The characters almost feel like an afterthought, but Aster's film is full of memorable and haunting sequences that you won't find in other films of the genre." - Glenn Magnus, Maxim
"The Cape feels like it has more ideas than it knows what to do with, and not enough plot to keep things interesting. Despite a few entertaining sequences, the film just can't pull it all together into an entertaining whole." - Ken Hammerschmidt, Washington Post
"The Cape is completely lacking in characters to root for, or frankly even be consistently entertained by. The lead character, Eric (played by Ryan Hurst), is immensely unlikable, making the film a chore to get through." - Ben Mazur, SciFiNow
