Reception
Rue Morgue magazine spoke positively of the film, praising its "hazy dreamlike quality" and noting it possesses "an obvious giallo flavor," while drawing comparisons to Lucio Fulci's A Lizard in a Woman's Skin (1971) as "a film similarly entranced/repulsed by hippie culture and sexual transgression."
