	Author	Review
United States	Gary Arnold The Washington Post	"Steve Miner and writer Ron Kurz introduce more potential victims than they have time or invention to knock off."	NEG
United States	Variety	"Miner doesn’t move in and out of scenes with the flair of original producer-director Sean Cunningham nor is he able to create the same nauseatingly realistic murder situations"	NEG
United States	Eric Goldman IGN	"No one will mistake this for Quality Cinema, and it's marred by a confusing, murky ending. But there are some good thrills along the way"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"About two dozen movies a year feature a mad killer going berserk, and they're all about as bad as this one (…) Rating: ½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Jeremiah Kipp Slant	"Single-minded in its desire to please the horror crowd, the film seeks to accomplish a checklist of things almost by rote (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
