Reception

edit

A review of the DVD version of the film stated, "Given the subject, the ultra-low-budget image is acceptable. On the commentary track, writer/director Robert Boris says that the film was shot on digital video on 18 locations in 18 days. The film makes many of Roger Corman’s famous quickie productions look positively polished. But the movie also has the energy and spirit of early Cormans, too."[2]
