Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Although the basic situation may prove a trifle over-familiar to all but the smallest children, a script remarkably free of clichés, an intelligent use of locations, and even the occasional idea that would serve in a higher-powered thriller make for fifty-seven minutes without a single longueur. Nice performances all round, with a special mention to Demon."
