Variety - Cannes Film Festival:
Of all the Nordic films released this year, the Icelandic offering came as a splendid surprise. This supernatural tale has something of the same quality as Nicolas Roego's Don't Look Now. A story of a young teacher sucked into the pastby strange spirits in a Reykjavik house. One of the most professional productions seen in Iceland. A milestone in Icelandic film history." (Pete Cowie)
