A review at Horror Society stated, ”The story is bad and hard to follow. Not because it is complicated, but because the film has a hard time actually following the plot. The film is vaguely a slasher film while trying to play on the psychological thriller angle. Finally, the special effects are non-existent which makes the kill scenes horrible to watch. I’ve seen my fair share of low budget slashers and I have seen a lot better kills than what this one offers." [5]
DVD Talk ’s also quite negative review found the film "very unsatisfying” [6]
