 Lush photography and a nice score by Ennio Morricone don't save this overly experimental film from Italy's horror maestro Argento. ... All in all, the film is a huge disappointment. Argento should have stuck to the giallo formula that has worked so well for him in the past.-- (eSplatter.com)
Don't complain to me that you find the story boring or hard to understand, because I agree. This is one of those movies you have to see to fully understand what it is actually about...  -- (Bloody-Disgusting.com)

| A dull and predictable Dario Argento flick. Lame computer effects and the slow-pace hurts the flick. Has its moments, but overall a disappointment for me. Check it if you're a big fan of Dario, otherwise avoid. 5/10 --FrighT MasteR (UHM)
