All critic scores are converted to a 100-point scale. If a critic does not indicate a score, we assign a score based on the general impression given by the text of the review. Learn more...

Variety Derek Elley

A fantastical romp with a buoyant pace, exotic locations, a finger-popping score, appealing leads and spicy cooking demonstrations.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

The film's tone is hard to pin down, especially with the actors dubbed flatly into English.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

It's hoary and clunky even by the low standards of contemporary thrillers.

The New York Times Stephen Holden

The movie, which is crudely dubbed into English, lacks the raucous, anything-for-a-shock carnival humor of its American prototypes. After it's over, the only question worth asking is whether dear, cozy old Heidelberg can survive the slander.

Diana gave it a4:
Hm, i really don't understand the rumor about the movie being funny... nice idea, somewhat scary, flat acting. overall rather disappointing.

Rob gave it a 2:
Extremely disturbing movie, do not recommend it for the squeamish, and I do not care what people tell me, I have yet to find anything in this movie "funny".

Jason M. gave it an 8:
Very funny yet suspenseful.
