“Comes up with not only a fistful of nervous pools of fear but also a heady wellspring of classic monster-movie matinee fun.”
—Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
“The movie pops up out of nowhere, grabs you in its big, messy tentacles, and drags you down into murky depths, where social satire coexists with slapstick, and B-movie clichés mutate into complex metaphors.”
—Dana Stephens, Slate
