Reception

edit

Mike Watt of Film Threat rated the film 3.5 out of 5 and wrote, "It was made with such earnest affection to the genre that it's difficult to be negative towards it."[1] Bloody Disgusting rated it 2/5 stars and criticized the acting and dialogue.[2] Peter Dendle wrote, "Unconvincing actors try to make you think the world is coming to an end by running around abandoned buildings in this anemic offering from Hamilton, Ontario."[3]

Sequels
