- 63RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiRogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiThe film is constantly undercutting its own ability to generate any real suspense because whenever one of the stories begins to generate any real head of steam, viewers are jerked into another one and the whole process starts over again.

- 50Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinAs horror movies go, this one's not especially tense or scary. Instead, it's eerie, provocative and at times ridiculously violent. The ending feels like a cop-out after so much creative mayhem.
- 50VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyNone is particularly original (though there is one good final twist), but they’re all reasonably entertaining.
- Unsparingly gory and on occasion actually shock-inducing, it can’t help falling prey to Genre Overreach syndrome, in which horror fans turned horror creators maniacally pile up their favorite terrorizing tropes, as if they’d never get the chance again.
