Reception

[edit]

Tori Danielle of PopHorror wrote a positive review of the film, calling it a "crazy story with great performances, twits and turns, and nonstop action."[6] Dakota Dahl of Rue Morgue wrote a positive review of the film, writing that "The film is fun and weird, with levels of mystery that evolve and resolve throughout the whole run time, making it easy to watch from start to finish without getting bored."[7]

Chance Solem-Pfeifer of Willamette Week rated the film 2 stars out of 4, writing that "The fact that Rony Patel's would-be slasher film pivots so quickly and aggressively away from an unstoppable-monster bloodbath is potentially to his creative credit, but unfortunately, no part of the disturbed underworld odyssey that follows works anywhere near as well."[8] Rich Cross of Starburst rated the film 2 stars out of 5, writing that "There’s plenty of ambition in evidence in what is Patel’s feature debut, but the weirdness has a stilted quality. This feels like a story with its heart chopped out."[9]
