Critic Reviews

Staff (Not Credited)

A skilful blend of the familiar (casting, English locations) and the outrageous (the script's mix of whodunit, disaster movie and telekinetic thriller) produces a beguiling entertainment in which half the fun's to be had from constructing a coherent synopsis out of the loony mess of flashback, foresight, eccentricity and even ecology.

Director Jack Gold controls all the angles of this improbable story. Burton has some very effective moments too as does Remick. Read full review

Vincent Canby

The movie was directed by Jack Gold from a screenplay by John Briley and it's fuzzy on a number of key issues that possibly could have made it fun, had they been sharper. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Another one of those movies that was more of a "deal" than it was a picture. Read full review
