New York Post

V.A. Musetto

Proceeds along familiar genre lines. But the denouement comes as a surprise, the five women are great screamers, and the cinematography and music add to the general feeling of menace. Read full review

The New York Times

Laura Kern

Mr. Bogliano, just 19 at the start of production, has made a promising debut that consistently hits the right creepy points while exhibiting impressive gory effects created with extremely limited resources. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine

Maitland McDonagh
