climaxing in an ending that elicited gasps of horror from the packed midnight madness audience I saw this with
by Chris Bumbray [JoBlo's Movie Emporium ]
brutal and bloody and utterly unnerving
by Chuck Wilson [Village Voice ]
all of those features are bugs, and at the risk of mixing metaphors
by Jaime N. Christley [Slant Magazine ]
a dark, funny, disturbing picture-not for the squeamish, though it's as given to subtle creepiness as outright horrors
