Reviews
- Ryan Cracknell wrote in the Apollo Guide that Jennifer Tilly played the psychopathic Helen great , but could not save the film from mediocrity. He compared the play of Tilly with the portrayal of Kathy Bates in Misery .
- Consistently exciting , sometimes exaggerated in the depiction of the atrocities, that is the verdict of the film critic Rainer Heinz in the lexicon of international film .
- The Wiesbaden film evaluation agency gave the film the rating of valuable . In the justification in the FBW report it says u. a. as follows: This is not a film that imitates, but that invents. The visual power is impressive, and the sound level is very conscious and carefully designed.
