	Author	Review
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Destined to be a cult classic, this sophomore effort by Anna Biller is a heady throwback to the American and European sexploitation horror films of the late '60s and early '70s"	POS
United States	Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"[The director's] sensibility expresses itself in some very unusual ways (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Samantha Robinson conjures a breakthrough performance for the ages in the year's most exciting and unexpected new monster movie."	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"It’s a lovingly crafted ode to little-loved cinema that’s secure enough in its obscurantist nostalgia to make a sly joke of its occasional anachronisms"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Shot and designed with admirably compulsive attention to tone and composition"	POS
United States	Katie Rife AV Club	"[It] is not just an impressive visual and technical achievement. It’s also a nuanced statement on gender relations"	POS
