The cast also includes Chelsea Clark, Mark McKinney, Julian Richings, Marty Adams, Marcia Bennett, Brynn Godenir, Donald Tripe, Lorna Wilson and Tal Zimerman.
It premiered at the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival, [2] where it was second runner-up for the Audience Award for Best Canadian Feature. [3]
The film has been acquired for streaming distribution on Netflix. [4]
For Original Cin, Thom Ernst wrote that "the budget, rumoured to be modest, shows no signs of hampering the production. If anything, the limitations forced smarter decisions. The monster, a many-tentacled sewage-dweller, is convincing enough to be threatening, but silly enough to let audiences enjoy the lunacy. Nothing looks cheap; everything looks intentional. It’s the kind of resourcefulness that makes low-budget Canadian filmmaking so easy to root for." [5]
