"Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times also gave the film two of the four stars and is equally important for how the material was presented, wrote: "... a movie that presents evidence of Rex and Rose Mary as a scary human being for 90 percent of the journey, and then asks us to give them a break? No sales."
