"Such carefree horseplay can be mirthfully imbibed by audience of Feuillade's time, but as an updated remake, Franju's effort seems jarringly timid and cumbersome with respect to the raging nouveau vague mode in the Sixties. JUDEX still substantiates that Franju is an excellent aesthete, the film's sophisticated compositions and melancholically beautiful cinematography are indelible, not to mention the lavish-looking ornithological masquerade party, the high point of the whole picture."
