Reception

edit

Gareth Jones of Dread Central rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote that while White "knows his pacing and refuses to stretch things out unnecessarily", and the film "doesn’t hang around long enough to feel like too irritating a time sink", it "just doesn’t have enough meat on the bones for it to deliver the goods."[2]

Scott Clark of Starburst wrote that the film is "too scarce for its short runtime."[3]
