Reception
Rob Craig in 'American International Pictures: A Comprehensive Filmography' gave a very positive review of the film, saying "It is a genuinely creepy and moving example of modern Gothic horror, and may be the showpiece of K. Gordon Murray horror canon. There is high drama, supernatural revelation, and even some sexual perversity in this strongest of Mexican horror imports."
