100Disturbing, disorienting, quietly terrifying, it's one of the least known of the world's great horror movies and, in its own dark way, a startlingly beautiful and artful piece of cinema as well.
-
90A masterpiece of poetic horror and tactful, tactile brutality.
-
80A blood-curdling picture directed by Georges Franju at an even, distant pace that builds tension to an almost unbearable level.
-
60Director Georges Franju has given this some suspense and not spared any shock details. But the stilted acting, asides to explain characters and motivations, and a repetition of effects lose the initial impact.
