Reception
The film was considered a box-office bomb domestically, grossing 11.6 millions lire.[1] A contemporary Corriere della Sera review described it as 'a macabre little film that combines exorcist-style thrills with men's magazine situations' which 'unfolds in a certain atmosphere of mystery, but soon turns out to be nothing more than a fleeting soap bubble'.[2] Italian film historian Roberto Curti also panned the film, calling it 'dreadful'.[3]
