It’s what we don’t see, at least not in full, that makes the film are so effectively. – Andrew Crump. The Playlist

Deliberately skirting the Halloween horror corridor, Brian Bertino’s tautly composed monster movie serves as a brutally effective metaphor for the turmoil of adolescence, with all its rebelliousness and confusion. – Justin Lowe, The Hollywood Reporter
