Ken Russell's movie can be quickly forgotten. Many other horror movies arrive to our screens with more imagination and more modesty. [Full Review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)
Rating: 3/5 --
It's got Russell's trademark eccentricity (read: slight bonkers-ness) all over it, which you may take as a warning or a recommendation.

Empire Magazine
There isn't a lucid moment in it (and much of the dialogue is rendered unintelligible by Russell's subversive direction), but it has dash, style, and good looks, as well as the funniest curtain line since Some Like It Hot.

Chicago Reader
Direction by Ken Russell has energy to spare, with appropriate match-up of his baroque visual style to special effects intensive material.

Variety
Dependably -- even exhilaratingly -- bizarre. Its strangeness, which borders cheerfully on the ridiculous, is its most enjoyable feature.
New York Times
It opens at fever pitch and then starts soaring -- into genetic fantasy, into a precognitive dream of delirium and delight.

TIME Magazine
No character -- including William Hurt in the central role -- is even vaguely likable, and the mawkish ending is a laugh. In the Russell tradition, there are brilliant flashes on an overwrought trip to nowhere.
