Critic Reviews

A nicely extravagant tale of horror.

Pic has a few good jolts, successful buildups, and good looking people, but stilted dialog and plot shot through with holes keep mystery at a minimum, suspense overdue. Despite San Francisco as backdrop, with North Beach and Sausalito tossed in for spice, film trips over its own cliches and errors.

The plot is an overstated, reworked and all too familiar one.

The plot is full of huge holes, and the film fails to live up to its terrific opening credit sequence.
