Christian Science Monitor
Isn't for everyone, but horror fans with strong stomachs will find it a memorable monsterfest that rarely loses its bite. - 70
Village Voice
This Canadian cheapie plays like an above-average "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" episode, filtered through the sensibility of early David Cronenberg. - 70
TV Guide Magazine
If you ever wondered why they call it "the curse," this movie will enlighten as it entertains. - 70
The New York Times
Because the characters are so well established -- Ms. Perkins is particularly good as the shy, resentful Brigitte -- the film can have fun with its own premises without turning into an empty camp exercise. - 70
Film Threat
A black comedy that nonetheless manages to tap into the sense of alienation and unfocused rage so prevalent in today's kids.
