Reviews

Film-Dienst wrote that the film was "a dull and lazy romantic thriller that complements the tragic entanglement of two sibling couples with various elements of shudder and little sex interludes" .

Cinema magazine wrote that the "horror drama between sultry and sultry" "wallows in creepy images, which, however, very quickly become dull" . The "romantic horror" offers as "compensation" bare skin from Jennifer Jason Leigh.
