Critic Reviews

  • Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

    Retaining little, if any, of Ulmer's noted skills as an artistic filmmaker.

  • Douglas Pratt, Movie City News

    an all-black cast gives the film a strong historical value

  • Phil Hall, Film Threat

    It wasn't worth the bother.
