—

Los Angeles Times

—

NPR

The Guardian

A.V. Club

"Draws its terror from the same well of adolescent female insecurity as 'Carrie,' before going its own grisly way."

—

Variety

"Out of all the titles at [Sundance 2022], I’d vote this Spanish grindhouse throwback most likely to burn down the house wherever it plays in-person next."
