Seus vinte minutos iniciais e finais (ou seja: as seqüências envolvendo Carol Kane) são suficientemente tensos, mas o longo segundo ato que traz a investigação feita pelo personagem de Durning jamais empolga.

The ultimately slow-moving film is book-ended by some truly classic horror movie moments.

Aggravatingly devoid of suspense.
