Critic Reviews

Elliott Stein

Ingenious but relatively tame thriller. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Argento keeps the suspense level high while throwing in trademark cringe-inducing moments. Read full review

Deborah Young

Argento fans lusting for a classy slasher movie of the "Suspiria"/"Opera" variety are headed for a disappointing rendezvous with an old-fashioned police thriller, upgraded by serious actors in the main roles. Read full review

Dave Kehr

The film unfolds as a tired, thoroughly conventional police procedural that might as well be titled "CSI: Roma." Read full review

Jeremy Knox

The movie sucks. It's beneath Argento to be making such drek after so long a career. He's better than this. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

This oddly flat serial-killer picture shows none of the baroque flair that characterizes the best of Italian horror filmmaker Dario Argento's work. Read full review
