Rating: B+ --
This is a really damn good horror film made on a tight budget with almost one location only, and it never drags. They find really exciting ways to use this location to their advantage.

Determining what is real or imagined is often a challenge in horror and filmmaker Keith Thomas is adroit at manipulating this.

Cannily filters its suspense through the prism of personal-and inherited-Jewish trauma.

The Daily Beast
They accomplish so much here with what is clearly a low budget and basically one location. It's terrifying.

Rating: 3/5 --
Well-crafted and strong on the psychological elements -- thanks as much to Thomas' writing as Davis' portrayal -- this is a solid horror with some interesting subtext.

Common Sense Media
To conjure claustrophobia, director Keith Thomas relies less on the haunted house setting and more on the inherent discomfort of being born inside a fringe group.
