I guess the best way to describe this is "The Wizard Of Oz" of horror movies. Surreal, eerie, and just plain freaky, it's really something you just have to experience.--Sonny Fernandez (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
Barker based this on his novella Cabal and came up with this highly original, action-packed, effects filled and grandly entertaining film. Easily the best horror movie of 1990.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
Among the worst Clive Barker films... Yeah, it makes little or no sense, but it does feature some impressive make-up effects and it's fun to see Cronenberg playing a villain.-- (eSplatter.com)
