"Haunting and creepy, an embodiment of the guilty soul of film noir. No one who has seen it has easily forgotten it."

Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"It’s one of the most daring and thoroughly perverse works of art ever to come out of Hollywood"
—
Chicago Reader
Chicago Reader"The film-noir B-movie classic... is an object lesson in low-budget Hollywood artistry and one of the few movies that can rightly be called Kafkaesque."
—
The New Yorker
The New Yorker"Passion joins with folly to produce termite art par excellence."
—
Time Out
Time Out"Tom Neal grips you with every move and facial expression..."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Like great garage rock... Ulmer’s landmark film ultimately derives its raw, jittery vitality from its very crudeness."
