Reviews:
"[A]s ardent love letter to a classic, it does the job." - 08/28/2019 Empire


"[T]he obsessive Philippe digs termite-deep into what inspired the centerpiece of the outer space shocker that is arguably an unsurpassed mix of top-drawer action, suspense and horror. Buffs will be transported." - 01/24/2019 Hollywood Reporter
