Reception

In his analysis of the film, Roberto Curti heavily criticized it, noting that "the story is stretched beyond belief" and that "the budget is so poor that Terror In Rome could well pass for a Turkish movie", and eventually complaining that "the film is so badly written and directed that it is hard to believe it came from such an experienced filmmaker as Grieco and a renowned writer as Felisatti."[1][3]
