Reviews from Letterboxd:
-
Svenonius – ★★★☆☆
“Perfect rainy day schlock. Pseudo-scientific nonsense turned eerie morality tale. Carrera gives off real femme fatale energy.” -
Dionysus – ★★½☆☆
“There’s an intriguing idea at its core, but the execution leans hard into melodrama. Feels like it’s afraid to go full horror.” -
VHSRevival – ★★★☆☆
“I love Rock Hudson’s serious delivery of the silliest science. The pacing drags, but the vibes? Immaculate ’70s cheese.” -
GoreHound42 – ★★☆☆☆
“Wants to be Frankenstein meets Flowers for Algernon. Ends up being neither. But still—what a weird little film.” -
CoffinClub – ★★★½☆
“Surprisingly effective atmosphere, and Carrera’s performance elevates the whole thing. Vintage bio-horror fun with a mad scientist twist.”
