Reception

edit

Ben Platt of Something Awful panned the film while simultaneously panning the distributor, noting that "they were only able to force this film on the public with a hearty dose of lies."[1] Similarly, Wild Realm Reviews called it amateurish and incoherent nonsense, noting "Labeled as a 'psychological thriller,' there's nothing of the psychological or the thrilling about it. It's merely a photographed mess devoid of characterization or plot."[2] The film was also referred to as a “hellish mess with no understandable plot in sight” and was also described as “a movie that has a plot, but doesn’t invest people enough to the point of where they would care, a gigantic pile of sh*t”
