User Reviews
GialloGuru – 7/10
“I'm a huge Fulci fan, and this one didn't disappoint. The atmosphere is thick and grimy, and the kill scenes are brutally effective. The plot gets a bit convoluted, but the final twist made me rethink everything. Definitely one of his better giallo efforts.”
SlasherSam – 5/10
“I wanted to love it because the premise is cool and there are some genuinely creepy moments, but the pacing drags in the middle. The acting is a bit wooden at times, and the dub doesn't help. It's worth a watch for the gore hounds, but not Fulci's best.”
NightOwl88 – 8/10
“This movie is a hidden gem! The sense of dread is palpable from the opening scene, and the killer's motive is so twisted it stuck with me for days. The subway chase scene is a masterclass in tension. A must-see for anyone who appreciates practical effects and atmospheric horror.”
MovieManiac – 6/10
“I found it to be a mixed bag. The kills are creative and gruesome, and the New York setting adds a gritty realism. However, the story is a bit messy and some scenes feel pointless. If you can overlook the flaws, there's a decent horror movie underneath, but it didn't fully click for me.”
