GialloGuru – 7/10
“As a fan of Italian horror, I appreciated the atmospheric tension and the eerie performance of the little boy. The story takes its time but builds to a genuinely unsettling climax. Not Bava's best, but definitely worth a watch for genre enthusiasts.”
MidnightMovieMaven – 5/10
“I found the pacing a bit slow and the scares predictable, but the creepy child actor and the haunting score really added to the mood. It felt like a standard haunted house story with a few twists, but it didn't fully grip me.”
ScreamQueen88 – 8/10
“This film really got under my skin! The psychological horror and the mother's descent into madness were brilliantly executed. The last act had me on the edge of my seat. A hidden gem of 70s horror that deserves more recognition.”
HorrorHound – 6/10
“It's a decent supernatural thriller with a strong atmosphere, but the plot felt a bit familiar. The performances were solid, especially the kid, but I wished for more scares and less slow-burn buildup. Still, a solid entry in Bava's filmography.”
