"It’s both deeply unsettling and consistently visually vibrant—a foundational work of folk horror that puts all other films about faith to absolute shame." - Chase Hutchinson
"Christopher Lee, who plays the lord of the island, thinks it's one of the finest films he's ever made -- and he's right." - Radio Times
"An offbeat masterpiece that reveals the dark heart of Britain through the perennial tension between social progress and the burden of the past." - CineVue
