Reception edit
Reception for the film was mostly positive.[2] Film Threat gave the film four stars, calling it "a scream in more ways than one".[3] DVD Talk commented that the movie lacked "quality acting, production values, dialogue, or even singing voices. Yet, for some strange reason, when the entire thirty-minute film is over, all those shortcomings are completely forgivable."[4]
