- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The most intellectually provocative genre film of the 1970s"
-
"Nicolas Roeg's obfuscating style tricks it up, though the film is ultimately an empty thing."
-
"By turns, creepy and cheesy, literate and vapid."
-
"Establishes [its] British director as one of the most talented and imaginative new filmmakers in this part of the world. It's a demanding effort which will provide a challenge."
