Critical Reception
The film received mixed feedback. Joe Kane, the "Phantom of the Movies", enjoyed it greatly but cited one flaw: the stone-faced delivery of the picture's signature line "It's quiet...too quiet...I don't like it." Leonard Maltin, however, called the movie "Meek...Farnsworth should have turned his laser-beam six-shooter on the negative of this bomb."
