United States	Variety Staff Variety	"The director, cameraman and art department make the most of it, but the writers' contribution is lacking in originality and seldom is equal to the idea in back of it."	NEU
United States	Frank S. Nugent The New York Times	"Not since 'The Lost World', 'King Kong' and 'The Invisible Man' have the camera wizards enjoyed such a field day."	POS
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune	"Browning's flat style keeps the action disappointingly in check."	NEU
United States	Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle	"Seriously creepy."	POS
United Kingdom	Alan Jones Radio Times	"The scares may be dated, but the miniaturised special effects, relying on oversized props, are still enthralling"	POS
