"If you appreciate Rollin's gothic, sexually provocative films, you should love this, his most suspenseful and accessible production ever. Even if you aren't a Rollin fan, you may like this. The apocalyptic story moves along at a much faster clip than the ordinary Rollin sex-vampire art film, and like "Night" it features an ending that doesn't sell out. It's also one of Rollins' most chillingly beautiful films: He makes incredibly effective use of ancient French buildings. Seeing an army of Romero-esque ogres (one carrying a severed head) shuffling around them at night is wonderfully chilling." - Lucius Gore, eSplatter
