Magic Ratings & Reviews
- CineMonoNovember 24, 2025A very strange yet compelling story. Hopkins performance is somewhat marred by a less than consistent New York accent.
- Incompetent FoolNovember 16, 2025if the movie doesn't creep you out then its trailer sure as hell will.
- SpanktacularOctober 13, 2025Young Anthony Hopkins is cool to see, great acting, but otherwise a by-the-books slasher/thriller. Referenced in that American Dad episode with the ventriloquy.
