Kevin Crust of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film "walks a fine line, balancing elements of psychological drama and the supernatural, with a surging undercurrent of social commentary that sneaks up on you." [2]
Frank Schenk of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film "never becomes as affecting or suspenseful as it should be." [1]
Matthew Row of Film Threat gave the film a score of 3/10 and wrote that while the film "does try to strike at a deeper emotional core through its mishmash of tropes, the over-glossed methodology and cheap resonance make the experience ultimately (and thoroughly) underwhelming." [3]
