Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The chain of circumstances grows, violence creating violence. Once the inept, draggy start is passed, the film's pace builds with ever-growing force.
Fresh: Aldrich's direction and dynamite performances from the two old troupers make this film an experience.
Fresh: There are plenty of thrills and no shortage of suspense in this darkly comic horror film.
Fresh: Remains fascinatingly warped: an extended study in decaying flesh, set to a score mordantly trying to break into Hooray for Hollywood.
Customer Reviews
Classic lunacy & great fun.
I've loved this movie since the first time I saw it. Bette Davis is so amazing. This film is full of great lines and bizarre plot points. From rats in the basement (and for lunch), to "letters to daddy," to ice cream on the beach - If you're looking for something truly twisted and memorable, look no further.
GREAT,GREAT,GREAT!!!!!
This is a must to see classic.....Movies like this are just not made anymore. 2 legends of the silver screen.....very chilling...Do yourself a favor and watch it.
AMAZING!!!!!
With out a doubt my 2nd favorite (yes 2nd) movie of all time. No one knew true suspense like Robert Aldrich. Today, suspense movies aren't as good as they used to be. Today they are so predictable.
