criticism
“One of those horror thrillers that are set almost entirely in a basement, and in which a thrown together community of fate is decoratively worn out. So it could also be a play if it weren't for the bloodshed, which is a bit too effective for such conditions. Here a Kiwi agent collides with the Nazis, who are always welcome in this context, and their occult creature of horror. Technically clean and convincingly played B-horror by TV professionals. "
"Solidly staged horror with decent actors and a good helping of atmosphere."
