Reaction: Three profitable films to start Season 19 is certainly better than how Season 18 started (with only one of the first three films earning a profit last season).

"David Robert Mitchell is quickly becoming a master of creating an unsettling tone. While the plot isn't always too driven and too obtuse at times, the filmmakers and cast wisely don't try to do much with the material, making for methodical mystery worth seeing." - Audrey Columbus, Collider

"Having not seen the Korean original, I can only judge director David Robert Mitchell and writer Chad Taylor's remake on its own merits. Lucas Hedges gives a stellar performance that may finally elevate him onto the A-List, while Orlando Bloom gives a commanding follow-up to his turn in The Fantastic Four showing a strength for playing morally flexible characters." - Jason Helm, New York Observer

"A strong cast helmed by David Robert Mitchell, with another great entry for the studio, delivers a strong film thanks to Chad Taylor's adaptation of the acclaimed Korean drama. However, I can't help but feel like it doesn't add anything to the original and it leaves the audience with more questions than answers, but it's still a strong film." - Matt Carson, Arizona Republic

Rated R for violence, language and sexual content/nudity
