Reception
TV Guide awarded the film 2/5 stars, criticizing the film's script, dialogue, and over focus on the affair between Hyer and Sullivan. However, they did commend the film's make-up effects, and predictable but well handled ending.[3] On his website Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings, Dave Sindelar noted that the film was obvious and straightforward, but commended the film's attention to detail, and strong performances.[4]
