"...A deft, funny, shrewdly unsettling tribute..." Entertainment Weekly - p.39 - Owen Gleiberman (01/10/1997)
"...It's sensational in both sense of the word: a bravura, provocative sendup of horror pictures that's also scary and gruesome..." Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (12/20/1996)
"...The movie itself, for all of its ironic in-jokes, also functions as a horror film -- a bloody and gruesome one, that uses as many cliches as it mocks..." Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (12/20/1996)
