Reception

edit

Matt Donato of Paste gave the film a rating of 5.5/10 and wrote that there it has "few screams outside predictable jump scares" and is "slack in suspense".[2] FilmTv.it [it] rated the film 2 stars out of 5.[3]

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]
