Critical reception



Critic John DeFore of 'The Hollywood Reporter' wrote that it is "An incoherent, time-hopping paranormal tale." It offered condolences to the actual staff of Eloise.

'The New York Times' declared it, "A horror movie of such ineptitude that it invites sympathy for even its least gifted participants."

'Variety' was dismissive: "A notorious former insane asylum turns out surprise! to be a bad place to visit in this generic horror opus. Reasonably slick but empty, 'Eloise' is no 'Session 9' as far as haunted-former-mental-hospital horrors go. Heck, it's not even a 'Grave Encounters 2'."

'The Village Voice' said it all in the title of its article.

Rotten Tomatoes gave it an 11% rating.[https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/eloise Eloise] Rotten tomatoes. On Metacritic it has a score of 15% based on reviews from 6 critics, indicating "overwhelming dislike".
