Critic Reviews:

Of Unknown Origin deals in absolutes; this is Man versus Beast in capital letters, and is unapologetic in its intent.


Overall, I really enjoyed OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN, so much so that it has now become one of my favorite 80s horror films.


Despite the presence of other characters, “Of Unknown Origin” is essentially a one-man show.
