Reception

Paul Mount of Starburst rated the film 4 stars out of 5, calling it a "haunting and sometimes flesh-crawling experience enlivened by some pleasing practical visual effects and a sense of ambiguity in relation to the nature and purpose of the parasite creature itself." [6] Jonathan W. Hickman of the Newnan Times-Herald rated the film 6 out of 10, calling it "compelling and thoroughly unsettling". [7] Alix Turner of Horror Obsessive wrote a positive review of the film. [8]

Alain Elliot of Nerdly rated the film 2 stars out of 5, writing that it "falls into the ‘what could have been’ category and never lives up to its promise of a twisted but intriguing body horror." [9]
