Reviews:
“There’s one scene that should be a mix of arousing and disturbing, but it’s shot so badly it falls flat. By the time the last half hour rolls around and we get more than just loads of talk it’s too late. Not that a lot happens, but we do at least get to see the creature for a couple of minutes.” Voices from the Balcony
