Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The whole film is one of the best arguments for resuming movie censorship to come along in years.
It's blatant exploitation of the lowest order.
A tame, poorly plotted serving of schlock, less horrific for its ketchup-smeared murders than for the bare-faced fashion in which it tries and fails to rip off Carpenter's Halloween in matters of style and construction.
