Terry Grimley Birmingham Mail 09/22/2024
Although it fails as a whodunnit because the conclusion is obvious from early on, it is a very sharply directed film with some admirable performances, not least from Sutherland and from David Hemmings. Go to Full Review
Jesús Fernández Santos El Pais (Spain) 08/08/2019
The movie has a good start, but as it progresses and takes shape, it goes down an all too conventional road. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Maai K Oct 8 Claude Chabrol vibes throughout. A seemingly happy family conceals disturbing truths. See more 11/27/2012 Cheap looking, obvious but made watchable by Sutherland and my nostalgic, late-night ITV memories. See more 12/06/2011 Minor Chabrol thriller that starts out as a policier and ends up as a family melodrama, with almost the entire second half consisting of a flashback to a troubled teen romance. Of interest mainly because of the director's foray into English, though he doesn't seem comfortable outside his native France and the dialogue often feels stilted and like a poor translation. There are two fine cameos from Donald Pleasance and David Hemmings, but overall this is far from essential. See more 09/24/2011 It has two Donalds and whole bunch of blood relativing in it. See more 05/06/2009 I like the way the story unfolds, but it seems obvious who the killer is from the start. A mixture of good and atrocious performances. Some of the directing is ok, but the lighting is bad throughout, and there are some serious editing issues. See more Read all reviews
