Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Apr 4, 2014
3/5
It's hard to dislike a film that has so much fun with the idea that for isolated teens, every day is like Sunday. Go to Full Review
Dee Rudebeck Guardian Apr 3, 2014
3/5
A good performance from Breslin keeps tension alive, but hope for a really scary and inventive fright dies screaming in the basement. Go to Full Review

2/4
Inspiration seems to come from Groundhog Day, Beetlejuice and even The Shining. Go to Full Review

1/5
A film involving ghosts that makes the bold decision to never be creepy, or ever be interesting, no matter what the talents might have been of the cast and crew. Go to Full Review
Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It Feb 22, 2023
Where Groundhog Day used it’s same-day-repeats well, this film seems to drag on the actual resolution. Go to Full Review
Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Aug 22, 2022
1/4
Never challenging or innovative, and consistent only in its fuzzy supernatural logic, the film is an empty exercise in atmosphere. Go to Full Review

Keith B @Okbullard 1 day ago I wouldn't bother with this one, halfway through I'd considered stopping it quite a few times but continued watching. That was a huge mistake. See more Troy V @RT27212958 May 3, 2026 Seriously? I can't believe this movie that's such a low rating! I thought it was f ng superb See more thiago s @Thiagostone Dec 10, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Stoner J @Stoner Jul 16, 2025 Definitely worth a watch. It’s hard to describe this type of movie but it’s a blast following Abigail Breslin trying to figure out what’s really going on and how to get out of it. See more Michael C @RT94252045 Jul 10, 2025 This is an exercise by someone who was engaged by too many un-horror movies left over from the 1980's. Trite, disjointed. Even Breslin's good acting can't save what began as an interesting story. After the time loop theme was dropped, so was the story. See more Maddie L @RT36521245 May 4, 2025 Is it perfect? No. Is it fantastic? No, but I think it's way better than the ratings it's getting, this film is super captivating and in the end it's honestly fairly beautiful. Give it a watch, you'll enjoy it!
