The lexicon of the International film was: ". In all respects, modest horror film that evokes more boredom than terror " " Too much solidifies the film in an effort Fulcis to trim the whole thing on mystical and demonic, which he repeatedly lengthy in most passages and symbolic images is taken. "says Andreas Bertler / Harry Lieber
