Reception

From retrospective reviews, Curti felt that with a better director the story might have worked better overcoming weak acting and a muddled script.{{sfn|Curti|2015|p=158}} In Phil Hardy and Tom Milne's The Encyclopedia of Horror Movies, a review described the film as a "slow, laboured ghost story"{{sfn|Hardy|Milne|1996|p=182}} Louis Paul described the film as "obscure" in his book on Italian Horror film directors and that it was attempting to replicate the Gothic films of the early 1960s but does not end up like those films.{{sfn|Paul|2015|p=21}}{{sfn|Paul|2015|p=22}}
