- Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: The original may still be the better overall film, but if you asked me which one I would want to revisit, this might be it.
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: A tension-fueled experience that will leave you breathless, with a performance by James McAvoy that proves, again, that he is one of the finest actors of his, or any other, generation.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Writer/director James Watkins scores a hit and a miss adapting the Tafdrup brothers’ original Danish film, making the visiting couple’s conflict avoidance more natural but totaling reconfiguring the ending into a more conventionally satisfying ending.
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A horror film that unexpectedly explores the uneasiness of navigating cultural differences and our tendency to justify problematic conduct due to social pressure.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: It’s a decent adaptation that works fine but will play better if you haven’t seen the superior original.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: James Watkins and Blumhouse have rejiggered one of the decade’s most impactful horror films for an American audience, with mixed results. The cast—James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, Scoot McNairy, and Aisling Franciosi—fires on all cylinders, but this remake deliberately sidesteps the excruciating core of the original’s torment, settling instead for a conventionally tidy ending.
- Jacob Oller @ Paste Magazine
- Excerpt: Despite a furiously alpha-male James McAvoy raging through the movie—nearly making this new take into an enjoyable, scareless, hoot-and-holler romp—Blumhouse’s hollowed-out remake undermines its nasty source material with its Americanized sheen.
