It's just suspenseful and clever enough to keep you happily intrigued. [3 Sep 2012, p.39]

Sure, the plot's ridiculous, but the film's mostly fun, while the pleasure of watching Burstyn play a homicidal wacko is not to be denied anyone. Read full review

Even though the miniseries has its own appeal it slowly loses quality... the effects are really good and there a some parts with a few good suspense but the rest the performances were not so good and the ending was just awful... Ellen Burstyn however does an amazing job with that crazy hairEven though the miniseries has its own appeal it slowly loses quality... the effects are really good and there a some parts with a few good suspense but the rest the performances were not so good and the ending was just awful...
