Imaginative low-budget sci-fi thriller compensates its rather poor special effects with the uniqueness of its premise and well-handled, suspenseful narrative.
Maltin**1/2: "Well-handled sci-fi..."

Maltin BOMB: "Scattered unintentional laughs do not compensate for terribly written, acted, and directed adaptation of Jacqueline Susann novel..."
