viewers of a good night's sleep'

Harvey, Variety

realistic and troubling...a meditation on the morality,

cinema'
-Amy Beeton,

stab at that sub-genre of horror films, where we not only

sadistic and amoral'

unable to watch and others will have to, because they
know they shouldn't'
- Alec
Ballard, The Film Asylum
'So mesmerizing
and compelling that you're often not sure when you should
stop laughing and when you should start wincing...if you

moment to look around the auditorium and note the guilty
expressions...it only goes to show that the line between
black humor and dark horror is a fine one'
- Smokey, The
Zombie Keeper

unforgettable package'.
