The Guardian Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Of the many threats to modern man documented in horror films -- the slashers, the haunters, the body snatchers -- the most innocent would seem to be the druids.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
As far as flying nannies go, Jenny Seagrove's isn't half as intimidating as Julie Andrews' Mary Poppins.
Fantastica Daily
Chuck O'Leary
A dumb horror film that's down there with Deal of the Century as one of Friedkin's worst efforts.
ÜberCiné
Gregory Weinkauf
Friedkin here seems strangely determined to squander his talent; lots of wasted opportunities.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Absolutely hysterical. Unfortunately, it's supposed to be scary
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Although the budget clearly isn't sizable, it's enough to design a couple of amusing scenes of violence and morbidly funny tree-creature effects.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Admittedly, it doesn't seem like one that Friedkin put his heart and soul into, but it still has some of his touches, and it's too interesting to write off completely.
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
The more fictitious a scare it accumulates, the more laughter it grants. [Full review in Spanish]
Southern Voice (Atlanta)
Terry Francis
By imploding into self-satire, the film manages some inadvertent humor. And that's not nothing.
