by David Fear [Time Out New York ]
the whole thing is rather silly, but it does offer the occasional elegant, gothic shiver
by Stephanie Zacharek [Movieline ]
the kind of class that only exists in movies like this

nlike American Psycho, the movie is too polite for its own good
by Rex Reed [New York Observer ]
lacks sufficient scare power
by Betty Jo Tucker [ReelTalk Movie Reviews ]
lacking the light touch and satiric black humor she deployed in American Psycho
by Nick Schager [Village Voice ]
her torpid adaptation of Rachel Klein's novel about female sexual desire, jealousy, death wishes, and vampires at a girls' boarding school defeats Harron's talent for exploring darkness on the edge of kinkiness

fails to frighten, titillate or otherwise engage the imagination
by Kathleen Murphy [MSN Movies ]
an example of how even the most skilled director can leave an audience confused and weary when hobbled by a mess of a script
