Reception

Critical reception

Marcelo Paredes from Cinencuentro points out that although the tense atmosphere is constructed in a good way, the film seeks to cover many topics without delving into any of them, causing the terrifying tone to be considerably diluted. Likewise, he points out that the elements of popular horror are not adequately highlighted beyond the characters presented. [5]
