Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Guilherme Simões Reis – ★★★★☆
   “Despite being underrated, this is one of the very best movies by José Mojica Marins. Curiously, here he does not play either a fictionalized version of himself or his classic icon and signature character Coffin Joe, as in most of his films.”
2. loonelytuns – ★★★☆☆
   “RAQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL”
3. JensPihl – ★★★½☆
   “Routine horror effort.”
