Critic Reviews

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Superior Hammer non-horror thriller.
Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Apesar da obviedade da primeira parte da trama, a segunda metade traz boas reviravoltas e consegue surpreender o espectador (mesmo que o roteiro seja claramente inspirado em As Diabólicas).

Another Hammer Collection Film. This movie is as good as any Hitchcock feature. About a young girl whose mother killed her fatter because she was insane from dreams she was having, now the daughter is having the same dreams and seeing people, or is someone driving her deeper into insanity. A twisted suspense film with as many twist and turns as any mountain road. 4 stars.
