“Haaga’s direction is all about creating the illusion of chaos whilst maintaining precise control. He’s aided by strong cinematography, set design and music, with the whole coming together amazingly well given the limitations of the budget. The pace never slackens and the tension never lets up in a film that’s as full of life as it is of grisly deaths. Pulp has met punk, and the result is spectacular.” – Rotten Tomatoes
The cinematography and production design accentuate Haaga’s writing in their strong colors and unpleasant details, creating a necessary sense of place to anchor the wackiness.”-Bloody Disgusting
