Atom User Reviews
Metacritic
With little action taking place for the majority of the film, this slow boiling story is more of an insightful character study than a heart pounding thriller.
Patrick Gamble
CineVue
Erotic languour turns gradually into fear and then horror in this gripping and superbly controlled psychological thriller from 1969.
Peter Bradshaw
The Guardian
The movie is so tautly constructed that not a single idea can seep in; it’s a mechanism made with an eye to spare elegance so obsessive that it runs without functioning, like a watch without hands.
