Reception

Numb received mixed reviews and currently has a 50% score on Rotten Tomatoes.[1] Justin Chang, writing in Variety, praised the film for "Admirably avoiding cheap 'gotcha' scares" but criticised the lack of "mounting suspense and tension over the long haul".[2] Ken Eisner praised the films twists and impressive handling by director Jason R. Goode and writer Andre Harden, although had some criticism towards the lack of character development given to the female characters.[3] Jill Wilson states that the film "can’t decide if it’s a winter-survival movie or a buried-treasure movie" being better at the former than the latter.[4]
