criticism
"A shocker composed of set pieces from the horror film and thriller, staged in an unnecessarily drastic and bloodthirsty manner, with a few variations of familiar motifs."
“Thriller specialist Jack Lee Thompson (“ A bait for the beast ”) makes the story's credibility disappear under gallons of blood. Glenn Ford, box office magnet of the 50s, is completely burned out. "
