"Chris Pine makes for a capable lead, but ultimately, in a horror film it just isn't very scary." - Glenn Howard, Total Film
"Director Samuel Bayer should regain some goodwill after his poorly received Nightmare on Elm Street remake, as this film, by the end of the opening scene, is already the best adaptation of Stephen King's famous vampire novel." - Joel Sapperstein, Las Vegas Review-Journal
"This vampire film offers some thrills not often seen in the genre. I especially enjoyed the entire town being converted to vampires. In the villain department, Mark Rylance's master vampire isn't nearly as frightening as his human assistant played by William Hurt." - Steve Lidle, Associated Press
