Competently done early effort from Craven keeps your interest okay and has some decent moments of suspense but its biggest fault has to be the fact that it's a tad too slow going for my liking. ... A curious effort with a so-so shock ending... 

Over all, however, the flick is forgettable. The score by James Horner is a ludicrous imitation of Jerry Goldsmith's soundtrack for "The Omen" and the ending is way too busy and overplotted to make a whole lot of sense.

No good scares and the directing and acting wasn't too bad. ... One of Wes Craven's smaller, more underrated films. Decent slasher. Worth a rent if you're looking for something. 5/10

One of Wes Craven's best films, an oddball but often scary thriller mixing elements from religious, slasher, snake, spider and monster flicks. Original storytelling method, several shocks, tense scenes and a great cast makes this pleasant horror-film viewing but it's not for everyone and it's marred by some stuff that don't make sense, including a bad, out-of-place twist ending.  --Slicer-Dicer (SlasherPool)
