- Maybe there will be an oversaturation of ''Scream''-inspired horror films someday soon, but this one feels fresh.
- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe film is competently made, and the attractive cast emotes and screams energetically.
- 50The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyLike Frankenstein's monster before the lightning strikes, it's all recycled cold flesh and bolts, without a twitch of originality.
- 50ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliWith each death, the film becomes less interesting. By the end, it's just a routine slasher flick with a too-predictable final "twist."
- 50San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleSan Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleA premise so rock-solid, so guaranteed to please, that it almost doesn't matter that the movie is otherwise a routine slasher, and not a particularly scary one.
- 42Entertainment WeeklyTy BurrEntertainment WeeklyTy BurrProficiently filmed and utterly uninspired.
- 30Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovSpottily directed and lacking the dubious merits of even the Friday the 13th franchise, this is one slasher film that should die a quick and lonely box-office death.
- A low-voltage drive-in movie, made strictly by the book.
- 25San Francisco ExaminerG. Allen JohnsonSan Francisco ExaminerG. Allen JohnsonIt's simply terrible.
- 20EmpireEmpireDirector Blanks delivers a wholly pedestrian feature debut in this by-numbers teen horror flick that could give you the impression Scream never really happened.
