Reception

Horrornews.net, giving the movie 2 tombstones out of 5, said, " Fans of teen horror flicks with a twist may want to give it a try. A climatic end that will surprise most is worth a look in its own right." [4] On the other hand, Nav Qateel writing in Influx magazine gave the movie a D+, writing, "There wasn’t a single thing in this uncostly, unscary, rather short movie which spoke of hidden talent."
