Critical reception

The New York Times wrote, "there are some engaging directorial touches, and there is some excellent photography" ;[3] and Britmovie noted a "gripping low-budget b-movie portmanteau thriller featuring fast-cutting from director Bernard Vorhaus and impressive location shooting on the Great Western Railway."[4]
