Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Minor grisly fun, but don't expect the movie to linger when it's over.

fresh:
[Writer/Director Clive] Barker's dazzling debut as a director creates such an atmosphere of dread that the astonishing visual set pieces simply detonate in a chain reaction of cumulative intensity.

rotten:
It's a dark, frequently disturbing and occasionally terrifying film that suggests Barker's vision hasn't quite made the conversion from paper to celluloid.
– Richard Harrington,

rotten:
This is a movie without wit, style or reason, and the true horror is that actors were made to portray, and technicians to realize, its bankruptcy of imagination.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
