	Media	Author	Review
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Its elegant subtlety feels refreshing in this era of over-the-top horror films."
		Teo Bugbee The New York Times	"Cortés approaches the supernatural elements of this thriller with surprising elegance (...) The greatest mystery of 'Down a Dark Hall' is who exactly this boarding school gothic is intended to reach."
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"This is a decent modern Gothic thriller handled with sufficient style and a straight face by genre ace Cortés"

		Peter Martin Screen Anarchy	"It adds up to an experience that I admired for its intentions and ambitions, more so than the relative enjoyment of actually watching it unfold on screen"
		Alfonso Rivera Cineuropa	"[It] is overloaded with noise, hysteria and rage which, though well aligned with the painful stage of life these girls are going through, tend to exhaust through their excesses (...) The same goes for the plot"
