Reception

Bradley Gibson of Film Threat rated the film a 7 out of 10 saying that "the film gets a lot of things right, a few things wrong, and a couple of things deeply weird, which is not a bad mix for a thriller horror-comedy." [1]

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review and wrote, "But despite its very brief running time, the movie feels plodding, never quite managing to land either the intended dark humor or scares to which it aspires." [2] In his review on Los Angeles Times , Noel Murray said "it's like a series of uncompleted writing prompts". [3]
