Tobe Hooper
John Kenneth Muir wrote in "Horror Films of the 1990s", "Many Tobe Hooper films admirably shatter taboos and film decorum, but there's little intellectual, stylish gamesmanship in this underwhelming film." Muir, in book on the films of Hooper described it as a "heavy-handed, turgid muddle of a movie that isn't thrilling or even particularly erotic (though it has been dubbed an "erotic thriller"). [...] There's no sign of his infectious sense of humor [...] or even his unflagging energy." "Contemporary North American Film Directors" noted that, along with 1989's "Spontaneous Combustion", director Tobe Hooper "plumbed new depths".
