Reception
TV Guide awarded the film two out of four stars, calling the film "dull" and criticized the film's characters and special effects.[2] Film critic Leonard Maltin gave the film one and a half out of four stars, writing, "Debuting director (and star) Stephens, looking like Rambo, fogs the cheap sets and shows a few good ideas, but his own absurd story sinks it all."[3]
