The film is too crudely cobbled together to make much of anything -- even a score by Bernard Herrman.

Larry Cohen's horror thriller is at once a great suspense/monster film and a darkly comic soap opera about strained parent-child relationships.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 24, 2019

A deeply terrifying portrait of child-parent relationships and intolerant fears of "otherness" defined as much by its sociological sharpness as its gore.

| Original Score: A | Jan 26, 2006

One part allegory on familial tensions and one part commentary on environmental and biological poisoning.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 3, 2004
