Critical response

Nick Schager of Slant Magazine gave the film two out of five stars, writing, "Neither scary nor sexy, The Devil’s Plaything at least affords ample opportunities to compare the differences between natural boobs and a set of early-generation silicon implants."[2]

gollark: Wars are decreasingly frequent over time.
gollark: I would try and stop you doing that, but we don't have such a button.
gollark: It's similar logic, run backward.
gollark: <@!356107472269869058>
gollark: Pascal's Mugging: someone comes up to you and says "give me £100 or I will eternally torture you and 10000 copies of you". Now, obviously, this is quite implausible. But it's a finite chance of an infinitely bad outcome, versus losing that finite amount of money, so you should do it, right?
