Cast

Reception

Dread Central rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that it has "more heart than guts and more brains than braaaiiins." [1]

Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote while the film is "handsomely shot" and "merits appreciation for really trying something different", its "humorless, sometimes ponderous progress doesn't ultimately make complete sense of the period/undead combo." [2]

Simon Kinnear of Total Film called the film a "sub-Cold Mountain travelogue beset by tedious talk, stiff performances and zero menace." [3]

Matthew Lee of Screen Anarchy wrote: "Technically inept, artistically overstuffed, bafflingly overwrought and unintentionally hysterical its cast and crew are clearly trying pretty hard, but virtually none of it comes to anything." [4]
