Kids vs. monsters tale that take a while to warm up, but picks up nicely. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/4 -- The film's sense of conviction and psychological nuance never rises above that of the "I Learned It from Watching You" anti-drug PSA. Full Review

Matches narrative incoherence with one of the most over-the-top portentous scores in horror-cinema history. Full Review

Rating: C- -- What the production aims to pull off with the picture in the early going isn't where the movie ends up, torching a promising premise on tiresome storytelling and a mangled tonal balance. Full Review

Rating: C+ -- Unfolds with a nuance and relative level of sophistication that belies its generic title, before eventually succumbing to a haphazard, poorly explained explosion of gore. Full Review

Once, however, the monster comes out of its hiding place and sheds its psychosexual slough, all that remains is a silly, sub-Joe Dante clash between kids and creature, with a dénouement so bewilderingly arbitrary that disappointment is inevitable. Full Review

A fun and gory little spooky tale flaws and all. Full Review
