Gripping, beautiful to look at, great soundtrack. Genuinely scary - the twins in particular. Authentic and believable. Great performances all round of a really good script. Recommended.

Two stars for the acting and the action. Minus three for the hole-filled and non-existent plot.

Directed by my dad, this film perfectly exemplifies his politics and sense of humour, and his ability at the time to attract a cast to die for. It is my favourite film of his. I can't give it five stars though, as that would seem wrong. And because Seven Samurai exists.
