David Edelstein, Slate: Perfect for watching on video on a cool Cape Cod night, but maybe not so arousing in an arthouse for 10 bucks and change. Read more

AV Club: Read more

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: That the acting is stilted and that the filmmakers and especially Pla take themselves so seriously serves to make Eternal deliriously silly camp fare. Read more

Houston Chronicle: Read more

Mark Olsen, L.A. Weekly: Conrad Pla turns in a performance of such staggering ineptitude that it almost (key word: almost) reaches a so-bad-it's-good, Plan 9 From Outer Space brilliance. Read more

Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: It's impossible to overstate the silliness of all this, but it would still be a decent Halloween trick -- if it were Halloween. Read more

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times: Lush, lurid and completely besotted with itself, Eternal is one of those movies normally found slinking around the ether of late-night cable television. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: I wouldn't recommend this for theatrical viewing, but as late night cable fare, it's an acceptable way for an insomniac to pass two hours. Read more

G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle: There's no camp in this vamp; the lady, and the film, is a tramp. Read more

Dennis Harvey, Variety: Real scares are few, in part because the major characters are unsympathetic. Read more

Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice: Tame and cheesy even by the modest standards of the genre, Eternal needs all the intellectual trappings it can find. Read more
