"It's a first rate thriller." - London Free Press
"This suspense filled play is likely to be the season's most entertaining production." -- London Gazette
"No amount of praise seems excessive."-- New York Theatre
"Wonderfully spooky...somewhere between an Agatha Christie mystery and a Hitchcock thriller. Peter Colley sends up the haunted house bit with witty dialogue and at the next moment interrupts the audiences laughter with a good, heartthumping scare...a really good ghost story."-- Toronto Globe and Mail.
