The problem is not that it's just terrible, but that it's also no fun. At all.

It was adapted into a middling creepy film in 1987. Now Lifetime has remade it as a sharper creepy TV movie.
David Hiltbrand, Philadelphia Inquirer

I was particularly delighted when the children figured out that their mother was trying to kill them with powdered rat poison sprinkled on donuts, but this should all be a lot more frightening - or at least more unsettling - than it winds up being.

The problem is [it] always sounds like it's more fun, or at least more kooky, than it actually plays onscreen.
Brian Lowry, Variety
