"Director M. Night Shyamalan and 

writer Jack Brown have delivered a haunting thriller that lingers long after the credits roll. Harrison Ford delivers a riveting performance - one of the best of his illustrious career. Jamie Lee Curtis matches him, giving a complex performance of her own. This film is going to be known for its ending like vintage Shyamalan, but this time it feels more thoughtful than the twists of past work like Signs or The Village." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press

"While the story is not original by any means, it is still an entertaining one. Carried by a very entertaining Jamie Lee Curtis performance. I wouldn’t say it’s a great movie but its runtime does fly by and is worth a viewing, if just for Curtis." - J. Darrell Ellington, Behind the Camera

"A bloody, twisted affair of familiar themes and tropes of cults in movies with M. Night's usual odd sensibilities for twist ending (even if you can see it coming and know it probably won't make sense). But, it's really Harrison Ford's journey through the film that's the true highlight of it all." - Jason Helm, New York Observer

Rated R for graphic violence and thematic elements
