A thoughtfully-crafted and subtly humorous film which is likely to cause a divergent range of opinions amongst viewers.
As lovingly crafted as it is, your own level of enjoyment largely depends on how much you enjoy burlesque slapstick comedy acts.
The film is just a whole lot of fun, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Nowadays it is clear that it’s a pretty ropey affair, albeit moderately entertaining in its own cheesy way.
Well worth a look for those who like their horror restrained, thoughtful and relatively low on gore.
An underrated and genuinely disturbing psychological horror.
To my mind it is more of an interesting but messy experiment than an unsung classic.
There’s just enough grit and edge here to keep the proceedings from feeling too lightweight, but not to the extent of overwhelming the humour.
Still a pretty good watch despite the issues which come to light when seen in retrospect.
The comic situations, veering from sly satire of middle class American concerns to broad Chevy Chase-style slapstick, are generally pretty funny.
A fine and imaginatively made movie, if a little overlong.
Kershner only grapples fleetingly with either idea and largely settles for a pedestrian, talk-heavy mystery.
Stands up as an amusing and stylish effort...
Has its moments but ultimately feels a bit blah.
An archetypal Bank Holiday favourite which holds up remarkably well even after all of these years.
It’s a real shame that such a great Annette Bening performance has ended up in such a dispiriting film...
A film which largely does what it says on the tin and does so with enough overall style and charm to make it hard to resent.
It could have been great if the tone was more consistent...
Worth watching for its occasional bold ideas and a fine cast.
A memorable noir thriller with a catchy jazzy theme by David Raksin.
