Fresh
A good-looking, well-wrought film with some knockout special effects, some dark humor and crisp portrayals.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Carpenter, whose batting average is dipping dangerously low, shows no grasp of character development, plot line or time passage.
Richard Harrington, Washington Post
Rotten
A trip to a village of the darned tedious.
Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
An enjoyable, if obviously-flawed, amalgamation of horror and science fiction.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
