A tour de force with wonderful acting especially by Patty McCormack who was nominated for an academy award. Though both shocking and horrific, it still stands as a brilliant, timeless psychological thriller.

Disgusting, gory, mean spirited. “It’s not nice to fool Mother Naure.” Film has no redeeming value. It isn’t really original either. Avoid it. This is one time Rotten Tomatoes got it wrong.

Dour, stacked and contrived with a reveal that makes little sense. However, Sandra Bullock keeps you from bailing. She plays well against type and is compelling despite the set up.
