The New York Times Stephen Holden
As Shadows vacillates between the historical and the occult, you may snicker at the way hackneyed horror movie conventions are redeployed for more serious ends. But you won't be bored. The movie is well acted (especially by Ms. Stanojevska) and very sexy.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Noel Murray
A respectable enough little ghost story, but it loses a lot of sparkle by being similar to such other guy-talks-to-the-dead thrillers as "The Sixth Sense" and "Ghost Town."

Visually striking but gets bogged down in supernatural clichés.

A prolonged and overemotional take on the putting-lost-souls-to-rest drama.

Overlong, ponderous and occasional risible.
