Critical reception
TV Guide gave the film 2.5 out of four stars, calling it a "good programmer" ;[2] and Mystery File wrote, "after a slow beginning, I’d have to say that halfway into the film if not earlier, I was hooked to the screen, waiting for the answer. A minor film, to be sure, but recommended, definitely so." [3]
