Reception

Ian Sedensky of Culture Crypt gave the film a score of 45 out of 100 and wrote that at its best it "might be considered a decent thriller among mid to low-level horror titles", but at its worst it "foolishly punts away its most interesting aspects for unknown reasons only the filmmakers could explain."[4] Sean Parker of Horror Obsessive called the film "poorly paced and wildly unconcise" and a "waste of potential".[5]
