Reviews
“One of the most harrowing and plausible visions of apocalypse since George A. Romero's 1968 zombie shocker, Night of the Living Dead…”
– Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times
“An unsparing assessment of humanity on the brink. The first 20 minutes alone are as galvanizing as any film likely to come out this year…As ever, [Haneke is] capable of conjuring some astonishing images, including a bravura sequence that plays out in darkness, save for the flicker of a torch made of hay. At its best, the film sustains the heightened tension of great science fiction, dropping in on a frightening new world that's just this side of familiar.”
– Scott Tobias, The Onion A/V Club
