[Du Welz's] art-house experimentation and performance-art approach to ensemble acting sacrifices plausibility in favour of increasingly pretentious surreal black comedy.

The film is nasty and barely competent.

A glossy rehash that's far less interesting and frightening than the classics upon which it's unimaginatively modeled.

the movie stands out as an atmospheric piece with important things to say, but it always feels like an allegory rather than something authentic.
