Reception

edit

Cleaver Patterson of Scream rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote that the film "has all the feel of an inflight movie and something you’d probably only watch to pass the time."[1]

Gareth Jones of Dread Central rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote that the film is a "respectable, if sub-par, indie thriller with a few good ideas behind it… but it just never takes off."[2]

Jeremy Aspinall of RadioTimes rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote that while the film has a "committed" cast, it is not "particularly scary".[3]
