Reception
editSue Heal at Radio Times wrote:
A chance to see Sharon Stone on the early road to stardom in this steamy, over-larded tale of a serial killer with a penchant for bumping off centrefolds. Detective Tom Skerritt struggles successfully to keep a straight face in the eye of a storm of hoary clichés, as the meticulous killer works his way through the months like an over-zealous accountant. Misses January and February have bitten the soft-focus dust. Can Miss March possibly survive?[4]
