Reception
Emanuel Levy of 'Variety' wrote that "Alfred Hitchcock deserves better than the atrocious homage he gets in Paul Williams 'Mirage', an incoherent thriller that cant decide whether to slavishly copy Hitchcocks 'Vertigo' or make a satire out of it. Preposterous plotting and radical changes in tone dictate the fate of this routine B picture as straight-to-video. Closing-night selection of the Palm Springs Film Festival was greeted with laughter and sneers by a bewildered audience."
J.R Taylor of 'Entertainment Weekly' said that "Ultimately, all this convolution leads to a cliffside climax so amusingly absurd its worth the rental fee."
