Reviews in German: "Carpenters bösartige Zukunftsvision mag unrealistisch sein, aber sie regt doch zum Denken an. Virtuos gemachtes Actionkino..." (Gong)

"Genial" (tz, München)

" Das Wichtigste und Faszinierendste an diesem Film ist seine Atmosphäre, die zwar deutlich mit Science-fiction-Elementen spielt, ihre greifbar nahe Horror-Wirkung aber bewusst und gezielt aus bekannten, heutigen Grossstadtszenerien bezieht. so gelingt es Carpenter, mit einem absoluten Kinospektakel reale Angst zu provozieren. Das ist genial." (tz)

"Mit bizarrer Ausstattung und böser Action setzte John Carpenters zynische Endzeitvision anfangs der 80er Genre-Masstäbe... Macho Meilenstein mit langer Nachwirkung." (TV Spielfilm 5/006)
