Top CriticWhile not nearly as good as the original, Henri-George Clouzot's Le Corbeau, Preminger's film does have some power and a great deal of suspense.

Top CriticThough not a complete failure, Preminger's American version still managed to take most of the starch out of this bitter French chiller.
04/22/02
'More than simply an Americanized [version of a] foreign film'
04/02/04
One of [Preminger's] best efforts of the period.
10/23/07
Well-made and with an offbeat location site, film is an interesting account of the effects of poison pen letters on a small Quebec village.
