Reception

The film has a 43% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[4]

Andrew Barker of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote "But Raboy gives us so little to hang onto – be it an arresting image, a palpable touch of the uncanny, or a moment of real tension – that it gets harder and harder to want to follow him."[5]

Caryn James of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a negative review, calling it "Well-directed but hollow and tiresome."[1]
