Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

Moves at a breakneck pace, it has strong and simple characterizations, it has good location photography and terrific special effects, and it supplies what it claims to supply: an effective action movie.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Peter StackAdd Critic to Favorites

The movie, a rather pointless thing when you get down to it, has little of the provocative intelligence that was found in "Terminator." But at least it's self-propelling in terms of suspense and cheap thrills. [12 June 1987, Daily Datebook, p.78]Read the full review

Variety | Staff (Not Credited)Add Critic to Favorites

A slightly above-average actioner that tries to compensate for tissue-thin-plot with ever-more-grisly death sequences and impressive special effects.Read the full review

Washington Post | Rita KempleyAdd Critic to Favorites

Frankly, scarier critters have checked into Roach Motels. [13 June 1987, Style, g1]Read the full review

The New York Times | Elvis MitchellAdd Critic to Favorites

Alternately grisly and dull, with few surprises. [12 June 1987, p.C6]Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Michael WilmingtonAdd Critic to Favorites

It's arguably one of the emptiest, feeblest, most derivative scripts ever made as a major studio movie. There's no need to do a Mad magazine movie parody of this; it's already on the screen. [12 June 1987, Calendar, p.6-6]Read the full review
