............................................................
"One of George Romero's most effective and interesting horror thrillers."
- Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
"A brilliant realization of a mind awakening to its animal instincts, expressed in satirical Hitchcockisms."
- Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion
"This intelligent, effective thriller is one of [Romero's] best films."
- Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
"What sets this apart from most modern horror movies, besides a sparing use of special effects, is Romero's careful development of a credible emotional context for the pyromaniac madness and razor-wielding terror. Romero's is a formidable talent which others can only hope to ape."
- Derek Adams, Time Out
