Reviews:
‘Female masturbation, several rape scenes (including one where Bradley rubs himself with baby oil before going in for the plunge!), a room full of naked dead girls propped up in lifelike poses, Ivan Hagar sexually molesting a corpse, forced voyeurism, goofy interrogations, whipping, a staged catfight escalating into a no-holds-barred four-person brawl leaving a bedroom completely totaled (this is an incredibly wild scene!), and a fiery finale complete with reanimated corpses and go-go dancing!’ Casey Scott, DVD Drive-In
‘A sleazy experience which becomes not-so-filthy in the midst of absurdist delights. This is an adult film in a 1950s playing field. It never goes over the top, but the option is always present. The barren, “windy night” visuals are infectious. Characterizations are both sensible and ridiculous. Hostile sex-periments lead to chuckles when scored with bull-fighting music and instigated by a polite, overweight nebbish.’ Joseph A. Ziemba, Bleeding Skull!
‘Far less visceral than Latin offerings in the medical science fiction sub-genre, such as the gruesome Gritos en la noche (1962), the film’s centre of interest is sexual, rather than physical, horror.’ Phil Hardy (editor), The Aurum Film Encyclopedia: Science Fiction
